The issue is in one's definition of "two different versions of a thing". "Slot", in the gentoo sense, has the meaning of two different versions of the same package, say qt-3 (tho that's long out-of-tree, but alive in kde- sunset) and qt-4 and qt-5 (tho that's very new, but is or will soon be a problem as more packages dep on it), where there'd ordinarily be file and/ or functionality collisions, NOT two different packages containing the same functionality, which is the extended meaning it appears you're applying here, but which only confuses people when used within the gentoo context. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
