What is wrong with "random" or "user"? Should I take "random user"
personally? Honestly, I have no idea.
Where do you want to draw the line?
How would you handle library packages shipping binaries?
Just `rm "${D}"/usr/bin`?

Right, that was the intent of my mail.
Not to question some multilib internal stupidity like how to handle
clashing pkg-config files but to question the approach in common.
Maybe FatELF would work with this multilib/USE approch w/o cluttering
the file system [1].
Multilib: funny clashes all over the tree, partial blessed by FHS.
Emul- packages, frozen, incapable of compiling and adding additional
stuff - collision avoidance by upstream.
Separated trees/chroots/... to be merged in $PATH et. al.
Is there any consent on how to proceed?
I support an slim solution, but as it turns out "architecture
independent" from FHS is just a lie. Or handled very badly.

Yeah, did not reinvent it, just want to re-think it's validity.
