Portage does not forget anything (even in case all files are in the same
SLOT). Only filesystem "forgets" old file overwritten by new one.
So there is a basic condition for non-conflicting packages and seamless
SLOTs: There must not be no files owned by both files or SLOTs. (This
should be stated somewhere in ebuild howto.)
You can have apache1 and apache2, gtk1 and gtk2 installed at once,
because mainstream developers of those packages has changed file names.
