Breaking overlays. Isn't the standing policy still to not break
backwards compatibility as long as an eclass exists?

We have no have direct control on overlays. It is up to maintainers to
ensure that their packages work with portage eclasses or they can have
their own eclasses locally.

There could be an deprecation warning that the functions are going away
to be nice with overlay maintainers but there is no requirement for such
thing far as I'm aware.
Punt away.

Not that I'm aware of; we only have to worry about the main tree.
Overlays are on their own.

grepping over all overlays that I can checkout I find only the openbsd
overlay having a copy of the eclass, but zero ebuilds using it

hmm, seems a few packages in the tree want this functionality. but they've
been calling getent directly and parsing the result rather than using the
helper funcs. so i've cleaned up & restored the relevant funcs, and converted
the ebuilds in the tree that want this info to use these rather than getent.
