I do agree that it's best to keep N4 around for a lot of reasons and, most likely, Netscape will release a 6.3 or 6.4 version based on 1.0 and maybe the banks will start changing their minds around then. Even at our company, we use N4.7 as a baseline for our web coding because 10% of our visitors still use it. BTW, Citibank has never given me problems from Mozilla. ING, however, is another beat.

However IMHO it would be unwise to block netscape-4 as many people still = use=20 it (and some may be hesitant to go with netscape-6). If there are no special reasons, [ebuilds for] different versions of pack= age=20 can coexist within portage tree. The one having highest version and revis= ion=20 number is chosen if user does not select version specifically. Sometimes=20 lower versions are installed, but this is the case when that lower versio= n of=20 package is listed as dependency for something.
