PVR includes the revision of an ebuild. This means that if a revbump is |
| 9 |
made on a webapp package to fix a critical flaw, users will still have |
| 10 |
the old broken package installed too. This is especially relevant for |
| 11 |
security issues, but also applies to other kinds of fix. |

Ebuilds can't override this either. Read on in the eclass and you'll |
| 14 |
notice that it checks that SLOT hasn't been changed to something sane. |
