You want all net-mail/dovecot ebuilds to be EAPI 5.  Too early for my taste.  What is wrong with the current status quo?

Moreover, you will have to support higher versions of dovecot or dovecot_deleted_to_trash will have to be treecleaned eventually.  Not exactly a winning argument for EAPI bumping all ebuilds.
