I thought about this myself too. I don't think there's any consistency |

whereas virtual/rust pulls in dev-lang/rust. It isn't a big deal (to |

me) but I also don't fully understand the motivation for all the |
11 |
decisions. |

Maybe a thought for a future portage feature setting for virtual |
14 |
ebuilds, like --prefer-binary-virtuals versus --prefer-nonbinary- |
15 |
virtuals or something? Just spitballing. |
