I've at least been adding :0 to many packages, openssl, tiff, libpng ... |

... pretty much ever since the libpng 1.4 "upgrade problem" in the past |

that reminded me that if something is possible, users will do it |

people masked >=media-libs/libpng-1.4 and they only got the :1.2 |
| 10 |
binary-only SLOT installed and ended up with no headers |

so having :0 forces the headers be there, and people don't get confused |
