Well, it isn't particularly nice, because we don't have proper SLOT |
| 21 |
descriptions (although SLOT can contain any of the characters |
| 22 |
[A-Za-z0-9+_.-], but then I am not sure how the PM decides about the |
| 23 |
"best" SLOT... I couldn't find a useful answer in PMS). |

However, this slotting method is already used in libraries like |
| 26 |
media-libs/libpng or dev-libs/openssl, so it seems it silently became a |
| 27 |
standard. |
