What about splitting apache into apache (for 1.3.x) and apache2 (for 2.0.x) into a virtual setup similair to what was done with sendmail, postfix, qmail, and etc? I would think this would help with those who want the Apache 2.0.x versions as stable without affecting those who want 1.3.x.

Apache 1 and 2 _are_ slotted seperately, so you can explictly install
Apache1 with "emerge '=net-www/apache-1*'" and it will not conflict with
Apache2. You can even have both of them installed simultaneously if you
want.

What are the advantages of using slots in comparison to using different 
ebuilds?

SLOT removes the need for additional packages.
