If this is true, then I feel it's imperative that Tcl/Tk 8.4 become stable, and all other packages in portage are made to work with it. 8.4 is about a year old now, and I find it unacceptable that it's only available as an "unstable" package. This situation reminds me of that *other* distro. I agree that there are a lot of potential issues involved with SLOTting this package. Unfortunately, the only alternatives -- a similarly massive effort to make sure everything works with the newest version, or sticking with an increasingly out-of-date package -- seem worse.
