I'd like to get the Council's opinion on having FEATURES=preserve-libs
enabled by default in stable portage. About 6 months ago I mentioned on
my blog [1] that I might consider enabling it by default after
slot-operators and sub-slots became widely adopted. We seem to be
reaching a satisfactory level of adoption now.

I know that this feature has been questioned by some, especially by
people involved with Paludis (which doesn't implement preserve-libs). I
think that the main compliant is that preserve-libs doesn't preserve any
non-library dependencies (such as configuration files) that a library
may depend on.
