1 So perhaps they could be slotted as sys-kernel virtuals where 2.6
2 ebuilds have a "!( =gentoo-sources-2.4* )" DEPEND and 2.4 ebuilds have a
3 "!( =gentoo-sources-2.6* )" DEPEND or something to that effect? Then you
4 would not be forced to upgrade, unless you replaced the virtual by
5 unmerging one kernel branch and merging the other. Would this work out?
