Is that necessarily a good idea? Given that the database formats are
not compatible between versions without cleaning out the BDB
environment files etc it seems like a source of conflict?

Granted I'm not sure how this is used primarily in PHP, but for
net-misc/sks I just stick to a known good stable slot (in that case
4.8) and if switching that in the future expecting a news item or at
least an elog pointing to the upstream UPGRADING instructions[0]
