As indicated above, that's actually a change to the long standing behaviour; personally, I'm inclined to just block _p0 from being used in ebuild version (meaning repoman). Reasoning is simple enough- we disallow -r0 from being used for similar reasons (if it's implicit, adding it makes uniqueness annoying further it's unneeded). My 2 cents at least. ~harring
