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.
