I have both wine-vanilla 8.0.2 (stable) and 8.1.2 (testing) installed.  "emerge -c wine-vanilla" would remove both of them. "emerge -c wine-vanilla:8.21" refuses, claiming

app-emulation/wine-vanilla-8.21 pulled in by:
   virtual/wine-0-r10 requires app-emulation/wine-vanilla[abi_x86_32,abi_x86_64]

Although it is perfectly happy with "emerge -c wine-vanilla:8.0.2".

Is this a bug, or is it considered reasonable for portage to have a virtual absolutely insist on keeping the newest installed version if several slots are available?
