Why not have them block each other such that only one branch can be
installed at a time? There can be no concept of "upgrading" between
branches since they all have different features.

Well, first off, most cases will assume that the branch has been
merged by 4.2.4. Secondly, if the branch has not been merged, and is
continuing independent of the releases, why give it a version number
at all? Just call it sys-devel/gcc-scm_b${BRANCHNAME}-r1
