19 To be honest, I don't know what subslots are or what they do. Regular
20 slots allow for multiple versions of a package to coexist, right?
21 Using context and knowledge of English, a subslot tells me that it'd
22 be a second level of slotting, which I see limited use for. It'd be
23 most useful for development languages that have multiple subversions.

25 In short, subslots don't seem to be visible enough for me to give an
26 opinion on them.
