1 Forgot to mention that, at least for webkit, this is really a case for
2 slots usage as this is the same software, built for another toolkit.
3 This applies to a couple other ebuilds in this gtk2/gtk3 discussion, but
4 admittedly not all of them.

6 We have at least three cases that Alexandre summed up:
7 * packages shipping gtk based libs only
8 * packages shipping gtk based libs and other libs (gtk-vnc for example)
9 * packages shipping gtk based libs and gtk or non-gtk utilities
10
11 Some packages most likely should be split, like avahi, but it is not
12 always in the interest of everyone as it makes things much harder to
13 maintain.
