13 SLOTs have been around a very long time, they were first introduced in
14 portage 1.8.9_pre1, released 5 Feb 2002. Before SLOTs were
15 introduced, all versions of a package were effectively in a different
16 SLOT; this meant that portage would not remove an older version of a
17 package just because you installed a newer version. At that time,
18 portage did not have any collision-protect mechanism (or so it appears).
