I suggest that EAPI 5 should include the two features that have been
omitted from EAPI 4 [1,2].

Apart from this, I think we should be more careful for the next EAPI,
in order to avoid such long delays as we had with EAPI 4. One possible
solution would be to only accept features where a preliminary
implementation in Portage is available.

Looks reasonable (if an implementation is ready). Although I don't
understand how it is related to rpm.
