In EAPI 8, the package manager is no longer required to directly support 7z, rar, and lha files in the unpack function - unpacker.eclass is now required for these formats. The devmanual still documents the earlier behaviour. Reproducible: Always
The simple solution would be to remove the last three items of that list. These formats were never widely used, and soon most new ebuilds will be EAPI 8.

This considers that these formats were never widely used, and that soon most new ebuilds will use the new EAPI.
