The way it is now, kde-4.0.0 depends on, for example:
kde-base/kdelibs:kde-4
namely, the dependency is on the slot, instead of the exact version.
Therefore, if there is a previous version with the same slot, like on of the
release candidates, kde-4.0.0 won't update them to version 4.0.0.
Likewise, when kde-4.0.1 will be out, emerging kde-4.0.0 will not downgrade to
4.0.0 version from 4.0.1.
