Because blockers resulted whenever two different packages made portage pick two different implementations. Which is a natural result of "weak preferences" in one place combined with "try to avoid uninstalling A and installing B" and "hard dependencies" in another place. Because the messy & chaotic virtual solution did not provide any deterministic way to rebuild reverse deps when needed. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer kde, council
