Not sure if slot deps themselves could even replace version ranges hacks
without also solving bug 4315 (native version ranges) in all cases. IMHO
it should be possible at least to specify slot+usual version limit, to
make it worth EAPI bump.

So what, longer term changes could wait for EAPI=2. Why not make
experience with EAPI bumping with something smaller for a start, instead
of trying to make one big bump that will bring all changes we can think
of now, but will be implemented only in 2010...

Now it may look like I contradict myself saying to bump ASAP but not
without solving bug 4315 first. But I see slot deps without limits only
half of a feature.
