IMO, it would take virtuals causing so many headachy breakages that
some devs started keeping up a steady drumbeat on irc and mailing
lists. When the number of virtual packages gets close to a thousand,
I'd guess that might happen. Then there would be years of discussion
and GLEP proposals, and by EAPI 207 it should be done.
