i originally added it to eutils eclass and only called it in some ebuilds 
because people were against lettings users patch anything at all (due to the 
maintenance burden).  the trade off was that maintainers could add it to their 
ebuilds explicitly when they were ok with supporting it.  so that quieted the 
opposition while letting it proliferate throughout the tree.  now we're at the 
point of it being fairly common in the tree, so moving it somewhere more 
central would probably be a good thing.
