would be nice to also have a user_patch-dir where patches for a complete major version sequel could be placed in.

i don't want eutils relying on versionator as eutils already inherits way more eclasses than it should

it'd be easy to support one component (i.e. "3" with PV=3.9), but doing more than that starts to get to be a pita ...

I doubt this is a good idea. EAPI 6 comes with eapply_user, and we should even consider killing epatch_user completely there.
