You might want to define what you mean by dropping support for old
EAPIs? Do you mean:
1. No longer ensuring that users who have pre-EAPI versions of portage
have a clean upgrade path.
or
2. No longer supporting EAPI=0/1 in package managers.
The former seems to be what we're talking about, but your question
sounds like it is suggesting the latter.
If we want to drop support for EAPI=0/1 then EVERY package in portage
needs to be updated to a more recent EAPI. I suspect we're not there
yet (at the very least all those system packages that are deliberately
held back need to change).
I can see why package managers would benefit from fewer cases to
support, however...
