I don't remember the details right now, but I remember speaking with vapier when I first started working on openrc, and he stated that he felt we should stay away from higher eapis for system packages. I don't really remember his reasoning for that right now, but I remember that is why I didn't migrate the ebuild to a higher eapi a while back. Also, this patch doesn't stop baselayout-2 from being installed, so I do not know what state it would leave a system in if you ran this and happened to upgrade baselayout, then reboot without installing openrc.
