None other than me having assumed that there must have been an important
reason why such a simple ebuild had not been bumped to EAPI 7 yet. Will
change this in the next iteration.

It would if there only were only one ICD loader in the tree - but there
are two, this one and dev-libs/opencl-icd-loader. Overall it seems the
latter might be preferable in the long run (official Khronos Group
loader, much smaller output library, supports the new unified headers,
the last ocl-icd release came out in November 2017 and there has been
minimal repo activity since then) but with it having only been
officially released in mid-March and with me having only just added it
to Gentoo, I feel I'd rather test it for a while before listing it as an
alternative in the virtual.
Moreover, for the time being we still need eselect-opencl here even if
we are no longer to use to switch between implementations because
somewhat surprisingly (to me anyway), the package in questions installs
OpenCL header files too.

Will do.
