That's quite exactly what I wanted to write - plus this -base.ebuild
thingy would only make sense if we also allow versioning of
-base.ebuilds. And then we're quickly speaking of package-based eclasses
instead of "-base.ebuilds".

If we're speaking of a list of whishes for 2009 - i'd prefer to see
eclass versioning instead of -base.ebuilds ;)
