yet another idea.
package management which would allow multiple versions simultaneously installed.
packages which would install under selected prefix (/packages...)and then append its own prefix of (/packagename-version...) and then package management tool to select which package files should be soft/hard linked to system directories and pretend to be default.
this would enable blindingly fast downgrades (just kill services relink and ldconfig) in case of upgrade breaking some rare(commercial package provided) service
