virtual/zlib: New package, v1 A new virtual to cover sys-libs/zlib and sys-libs/zlib-ng[compat] (+ sys-libs/minizip-ng[compat]). The latter package is now used by an increasing number of distributions, including Arch Linux [1] and Fedora [2], and upstream seems to have started taking ABI compatibility seriously. While we aren't planning on switching the default anytime soon, it makes sense to provide the option to switch one's system. There is also zlib-rs around the corner [3]. Given how widespread the dependency on sys-libs/zlib is, I think we're only going to substitute it in place, without revbumping -- and whoever decides to try out zlib-ng will be out for rebuilding everything.
