Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the slot-operator adoption, so it feels like
it's about time to enable preserve-libs by default in stable. I know
that this feature has been questioned by some, especially by people
involved with Paludis (which doesn't implement preserve-libs). Maybe it
would be a good idea to get an opinion from the council on whether or
not it should be enabled by default in stable portage.
