Why? I for one consider explicit dependencies much more clean. If Portage at
some point should distinct between dependencies defined in ebuilds and
eclasses, we'd need a defined way to set eclass dependencies in ebuilds, so
Portage actually can do the distiction, not breaking the tree.

That's not true. We use and need the functionality to set dependencies in the
ebuild which take effect in the eclass. Be it by setting a variable before
inherit or by an eclass function called from within the ebuild - need-kde(),
need-apache(), ...
We can't source the eclass and have all its dependencies.
