I was on vacation for a number of days so didn't have a chance to check
on this.

Is portage stable already supporting eapi 8? if so when did that happen?
If not we can't support it in eclasses yet.

Thanks,

portage-3.0.20 was the first version supporting EAPI 8, and 3.0.20-r6
is currently being stabilised. [1]

I don't think that we ever had such a restriction. How would we test
support for a new EAPI in Portage, if we wouldn't allow ebuilds and
eclasses using it?

That's not true at all. You can't stabilize ebuilds with EAPI=8, but
there is no reason to hold off on merging eclass changes.
