It's only slot collisions if you try to install more than one of them
at the same time.

But that script does *not* list available versions of libxml2, it
lists the stated dependencies of packages depending on libxml2, and if
a package depends on '>=dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.3', it will still get
libxml2-2.9.10-r4, which currently is the only version available in
tree.

Arve
