11 So far nobody has been able to explain to me what the actual need for the
12 multislot "switch" for gcc in our main portage tree is. I'll be happy to be
13 taught why this isnt just lazyness and/or power play.
14
15 Having multiple gcc's of same *minor* version (i.e. 4.8.1, 4.8.2, ...)
16 installed at the same time for testing purposes is a valid use case, but way
17 more exotic than e.g. running KDE git master. Code our users imho shouldnt
18 even see by default. -> overlay

20 Over the years many related bugs have been filed, but they tend to magically
21 enter RESOLVED state without any substantial changes to reality.
