Yeah I talked about this in a few other posts. When you offer parallel availability without *full* parallel installability (Gentoo only parallel installs certain packages), conflicts are inevitable. This is true for Gentoo, but is also true for modularity as it exists today. Nix might be the only solution that avoids this since it has the most advanced form of parallel installability. I've not used Nix before, but it sounds pretty cool.
