For some things (go, rust), using dynamic linking for all dependencies, |
| 9 |
and using subslots to regulate it... this may result in a reality where |
| 10 |
all dependencies need a unique slot for every version, and every |
| 11 |
version can be parallel installed with every other. |

I don't think you want that, it has all the inflexibility of static binaries |
| 14 |
and the only benefit it gives you is the visibility of the dependency |
| 15 |
stack from portage. |

Surely there are better ways to manage this. |
