1 I'm curious, is there a reason the current automake ebuilds bundle several
2 automake versions in one big clump rather than having several ebuilds using
3 different SLOTs?

5 I'm aware that automake has undergone a number of incompatible changes since
6 1.5, and that a machine will almost certainly want several different automake
7 versions installed. But this situation seems to be exactly the problem SLOTs
8 were designed to solve.

10 Is there a reason it's not being done that way?
