18 Yes, but with slotting you allow different packages to pull in different
19 slots of python. Furthermore, when you slot a package and mark more than
20 one slot stable, you're saying that all the stable slots work and don't
21 "break" the tree.
22 About the stages bug (330361), as was discussed to exhaustion on the
23 bug, mls, IRC and many other locations, python3 isn't added to the
24 stages by the will or work of releng.
