I think it's also worth mentioning the advantages over the usual |
| 7 |
virtual approach, where we have a virtual pull in one implementation |
| 8 |
and the implementations be responsible for the symlink. Because |
| 9 |
otherwise that would tick the same boxes. |

Here's one: the sys-meta approach allows you to switch the |
| 12 |
implementation quickly without rebuilding an entire package. For |
| 13 |
example, if I meet a package that's broken with /bin/sh -> /bin/dash, I |
| 14 |
don't want to have to emerge bash to get past that. |

Maybe there are others. |
