I think this is healthy for most software projects, but two things
stand out to me for portage specifically:

  1. Most portage users can fake this already by telling portage to 
     accept only stable keywords for sys-apps/portage. I know it's not 
     exactly the same, but it provides many of the same benefits.

  2. What happens to the LTS branch when the next EAPI is released?
