In bug 663324, we implemented FEATURES="merge-wait" and made FEATURES="parallel-install" a noop for now. Quoting portage-3.0.62's NEWS: """ * FEATURES: Add FEATURES="merge-wait", enabled by default, to control whether we do parallel merges of images to the live filesystem (bug #663324). If enabled, we serialize these merges. For now, this makes FEATURES="parallel-install" a no-op, but in future, it will be improved to allow parallel merges, just not while any packages are compiling. """ We should find a way for FEATURES=parallel-install to do something again, probably with parallel merges while no compiles are running.

For other packages, continue to populate self._task_queues.merge, which will serialize install unless parallel-install is enabled.
