From https://bugs.gentoo.org/649310 Based on https://gitlab.com/chaoslab/chaoslab-overlay/tree/master/dev-util/electron-bin * should `electron` and `electron-bin` block each other, for any version? * is it technically possible to have both simultaneously installed? What would be an example use case? We should probably not bother supporting complicated uber-edge use cases. * based on expert evaluation, what items of work would be needed for adopting Chaos overlay `electron-bin` into the main tree?

Presumably, the "-bin" variant would be installed to "/opt". > is it technically possible to have both simultaneously installed? What would be an example use case? See above. > based on expert evaluation, what items of work would be needed for adopting Chaos overlay `electron-bin` into the main tree? Teaching app-eselect/eselect-electron to support the binary alternative would probably be enough. app-editors/atom could then be switched to depend on either the source or the binary version.
