Honestly, I don't see why is this needed. It works the same way like apache
slots or php slots or whatever other slots. If users emerge an ebuild
explicitely, they get the highest version available, if they want something
else, they can do
"echo >=dev-db/mysql-5*" >> /etc/portage/package.mask"
That's exactly the same amount of user intervention required as if they
should enable multislot use flag in package.keywords instead (considering
that users definitely don't want to enable such flag globally for things
like binutils or gcc). Also, the current behaviour doen not take away the
possibility for other ebuilds to depend on a specific slotted mysql version,
e.g. if something doesn't work with 5.x but works just fine with 4.1. That
won't be possible once multislot use flag is required for slotted install.
