The 'latest' symlink maintenance is something everyone seems to be
wondering about but nobody has looked into solving. I know Ruby team
also needed something here and IIRC many others as well.

My suggestion is to take on this effort; maybe initially work with
Prashant and webstack-discuss to come up with clearly laid out
requirements. Then work with pkg-discuss community to look into
solutions which meet those. Perhaps natively within IPS or as a
reusable tool you could write. It'd be great to solve this for everyone.
