I think the current way is the most easily-supportable way for us. Complex interdependencies b/w packages and slots => O(n^k) times bugs, where k = no. of slots for a library. If we don't get all those bugs, it means people are running the latest package and latest slot. So slot operators would be m00t in that case. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
