I think that this slot issue in resolver is currently the only important problem of paludis I know about. With correct slot dependencies handling paludis would be just perfect. This makes me crazy especially for KDE ebuilds as I have both KDE4 and KDE 3.5 packages installed but paludis offers updates only for KDE4 :-(
