15 Not really necessary. He has an ebuild that says "=kde-3.4.0* =xorg-x11-6.7*"
16 which pulls in kde first which then pulls in "xorg-x11" which portage
17 resolves to xorg-x11-6.8 after which portage processes xorg-x11-6.7* to
18 xorg-x11-6.7 and both versions get installed (the latter overwriting the
19 former and causing the former to be unmerged). It's essentially bug 1343.
