Depends what you calling base libraries.
Kernel, basic I/O is clean of it , and there's good reasons for keeping things that way.

And because i know how painful it can be to maintain custom assembler code,
i would never use it if i could have better alternative. Oh.. what i trying to prove: i just using it because i can :P

But it is of course for projects which under my direct control.. i didn't rewrote random parts of Pharo with assembler code.. and never will.
