I am strongly in favor of the eapi-based approach as well, for all of
the reasons mentioned in the thread so far.
Eclasses can and should be used for functions, imo, that are used by
some ebuilds, but once it is determined that functionality in an eclass has
potential for very wide use, that functionality should be moved into an
eapi. The eutils functions are a prime example of this. These are
general purpose functions, so there is no reason for them to be kept in
an eclass.
