And once we bump SLOT/ABI_SLOT, package manager would know about how to
handle that situation and rebuild needed stuff? 

If we use SLOT only, I guess we would need to allow (or make more
common) pulling multiple slot but all of them mutually exclusive no? I
have no problem with that of course, but I thought it wasn't "desired"
in general.
