How is the case of something like libpng going to be handled, where we only support one API (and so only one SLOT)? Either in the proposed ABI_SLOT thing or when using slot operators? For the slot-operator case, will every consumer of libpng be forced to change their dep to libpng:= to ensure they get rebuilt when libpng bumps from 1.5 to 1.6?? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAk/Q/XsACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCxWQEAgkx7C2PBK/awXvfA3RFolZQD 2K7G7cBboDvDexn/JogA/0W/ke62zz7Mtk/i6WLATIaUYRQ+8ViK2Y4J8n4C3yVZ =SQX9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
