IMO, it would take virtuals causing so many headachy breakages that some devs started keeping up a steady drumbeat on irc and mailing lists. When the number of virtual packages gets close to a thousand, I'd guess that might happen. Then there would be years of discussion and GLEP proposals, and by EAPI 207 it should be done. ;)
