If implementing a mime packer is really the only use case for base64, then it might as well be removed from the standard library, since 99.99999% of all programmers will never touch it. Those that do will need to have boned up
I use it quite a bit for image processing (converting to and from the "data:" URL form), and various checksum applications (converting SHA into a string).
