I mean, use it in conjunction with ":=", one for rebuild and other to indicate any 2.x SLOT fits the "normal" RDEPEND (to not need to periodically update RDEPENDs or need to go back from :SLOT depends to old =category/package-version-* ways) Allowing that, we wouldn't need ABI_SLOT (at least to prevent this issue that arises with using only SLOTs for this)
