base.eclass inherit is ugly and scary with its base_src_unpack() export. I'd go with removing it ASAP and making autotools-utils _unpack()-free (it's EAPI 2+, goddamnit!).

I'll perform a wide tree impact analysis soon.

Ok, quick tree check shows that no ebuilds shall be broken by that.

I'd be very careful with this (although  it shouldn't cause issues).
Is this some base.eclass removal initiative I missed? :P

Well, I wanted base.eclass to be fixed first but it seems that:

1) it's more likely to b0rk something,
2) noone cares about that eclass. It's maintained by qa@ which is dead by definition.

Done.
