Having separate versions for 2.6 and 3.0 doesn't make much sense. The are no 'incompatibilities' or major changes between 2.6 and 3 to justify a separate version/ebuild (unlike the 2.4 -> 2.6 transition). The only change is the version digits. I'd prefer the second solution. Could you be more specific about the problems that users of 2.4 profiles could encounter by that change?
