1 Hi folks,
2
3 I like to try bleeding edge beta versions. But I hate that if I will
4 install for example the new firefox 2 beta via portage, it will unmerge
5 the current stable version. I would prefer to have a stable version for
6 daily work and the beta version for testing purposes at the same time on
7 my system. Therefore I would propose to introduce a policy, which forces
8 each ebuild with the suffix _alpha, _beta or _pre have to be slotable.
