Uniquely indentifying an ebuild is an issue regardless of whether or
not -r0 is allowed. See PMS section 2.4.
Even ignoring the unique identifiers, banning explicit -r0 globally is
inconsistent anyway. We already allow and use _alpha and _alpha0 (which
mean the same thing) and so on. You'd also be forcing special-casing of
eclasses that would otherwise just use PVR in dep strings.
Please think things through before asking to have pkgcore's bugs 'fixed'
via specification next time...
