Given this situation; it is desirable for future Portage/EAPI to be able to create a deptree depending on whether an atom is already installed or not? With this functionality it is possible to "mask" a package-without-downgrade-path again for systems that haven't the new atom installed yet. It should be used as little as possible of course, but for situations like this the damage can be limited to as few systems as possible.
