Base folder under some module views folder

Feature request from dmanners, posted on GitHub Aug 19, 2014

What is with the base folder under some of the view folders for modules? As far as I can see, according to the documents at https://wiki.magento.com/display/MAGE2DOC/Magento+2+Product+Documentation the folders under view are normally the areas: adminhtml, frontend etc.

I would suggest if these folder can be areas and other items like themse etc that this could cause some confusion.

An example of this is Mage\Bundle\view\base here there are layout and template files

@ilol do you know if this "base" folder is a direct relation to the base template folder under Magento1?

@dmanners , "base" folder includes view files common for all areas. I agree that it may intersect with area named "base".

This is currently not a priority but asked architects for evaluation.
