Something like what Debian does where a central service monitors
upstream ftp and notifies you when a bump is available.

Per-package eclasses - eblits standardized.

Crazy idea: Not-quite-eclasses. Some way to share small bits of code
between packages, though the code may not be eclass-worthy. We all know
the use-cases:
[[ -f ChangeLog ]] && \
 { dodoc ChangeLog || die "ChangeLog exists but cannot be dodoc'ed" ; }

And bits of code of that ilk.
