For some things (go, rust), using dynamic linking for all dependencies,
and using subslots to regulate it... this may result in a reality where
all dependencies need a unique slot for every version, and every
version can be parallel installed with every other.

I don't think you want that, it has all the inflexibility of static binaries
and the only benefit it gives you is the visibility of the dependency
stack from portage.

Surely there are better ways to manage this.
