Hi folks, I like to try bleeding edge beta versions. But I hate that if I will install for example the new firefox 2 beta via portage, it will unmerge the current stable version. I would prefer to have a stable version for daily work and the beta version for testing purposes at the same time on my system. Therefore I would propose to introduce a policy, which forces each ebuild with the suffix _alpha, _beta or _pre have to be slotable.
