Get rid of one or the other might be a good guess...? Yes, the plan would be to change the sbotools upstream and remove sbotools3 from SBo. The original authors are thanked prominently on the website and in README.md, none of their attributions have been removed, and I'm retaining the WTFPL license.

This would have mostly worked when the feature was introduced, but in the 15.0 repository, almost all SlackBuilds default to i586 (or even i686) for 32-bit architecture. This results in build failure. I suspect the feature has never been particularly popular, since it would have caused problems for most builds even during the 14.2 cycle.
