If it doesn't, then the upgraded-new-stable-perl isn't a valid replacement for the stable version it previously replaced. Remember that there could be who knows what scripts on end-user systems that need this functionality, and if it's suddenly not available because the only thing that provides it is ~arch, then they are not left in a happy state.. That's the case here, perl-core/Switch is still ~arch, therefore the current stable provider of Switch is still perl-5.12. Once the keywording is resolved though then 5.12 (and the virtual) would no longer be needed. It would be nice if something like a pkgmove be done on the virtual, though, upon its elimintation; anyone that installed the virtual to obtain perl Switch shouldn't have to unmerge and specifically emerge perl-core/Switch. I'm not sure if pkgmove itself supports this, though.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlOxfz4ACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCPZgD/e5g4fsbhBDKqo3Yal5/xc4Bc 4M8CqdhKYAC5OCo8/ywBAIwIgdWDuJfL8vILLbfIIzi//kuSXllU6TcR/aCMOdlf =9AEF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
