Description Andreas K. Hüttel archtester

Hi Portage team, 

for the next release, would it perhaps be possible to switch the following to new defaults:

1) BINPKG_FORMAT=gpkg

2) enable FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance by default

?

What do you think?

Cheers -a

> 2) enable FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance by default

This is already enabled by default for new installations. However, we don't enable it for upgrades on existing installs.
