I'd just like to point out that, to the best of my knowledge, portage actually 
switched *from* a "provides" model *to* the virtual system we use today.  
(This was more than a decade ago, before I started using Gentoo.  I remember 
this because I vaguely recall seeing repoman and/or portage warnings about 
deprecated use of PROVIDES or some such in overlay ebuilds.)
