Why not create a netscape6 portage subdir and migrate up to it when netscape6 is |

ReadyForPrimeTime. |

I do agree that it's best to keep N4 around for a lot of reasons and, most likely, Netscape will |
| 5 |
release a 6.3 or 6.4 version based on 1.0 and maybe the banks will start changing their minds |
| 6 |
around then. Even at our company, we use N4.7 as a baseline for our web coding because 10% of our |
| 7 |
visitors still use it. |

BTW, Citibank has never given me problems from Mozilla. ING, however, is another beat. |

It will become default (by the way ebuilds are processed) if you put new=20 |
| 25 |
netscape-6 ebuild into the same directory (check net-www, there are quite= |
| 26 |
a=20 |
| 27 |
few netscape-related dirs there). |
| 28 |
However IMHO it would be unwise to block netscape-4 as many people still = |
| 29 |
use=20 |
| 30 |
it (and some may be hesitant to go with netscape-6). |

If there are no special reasons, [ebuilds for] different versions of pack= |

can coexist within portage tree. The one having highest version and revis= |

ion=20 |
| 35 |
number is chosen if user does not select version specifically. Sometimes=20 |

lower versions are installed, but this is the case when that lower versio= |

package is listed as dependency for something. |
