Relying on autotools.eclass for your eutils needs was always a |

Excuse me but the way this change was handled is a bit depressing. |

First, the ebuilds should have been fixed to inherit eutils and then |
| 21 |
remove eutils from autotools. Now, a bunch of ebuilds are broken out |

of nowhere. I don't believe this issue was that urgent in order to |
| 23 |
justify the significant breakage of portage tree. |
