How about exending it a tiny bit and asking for it to be policy for all ebuilds EAPI=1 not to be allowed into stable without RESTRICT=test, or a functional test suite on the arch in question? The last bit would be automagically checked by the arch team, if the ebuild has no RESTRICT=test, during normal stabilisation (I'd hope?) since the build would fail.
