7 Ebuilds cannot use the new version till it is added to their
8 PYTHON_COMPAT correct?
9
10 There does not seem to be any way around touching all ebuilds when
11 adding a new version.

19 Ok I concede on removing older versions. Lets put old version aside.

21 What about adding new? You still have to add the new version to
22 PYTHON_COMPAT in each ebuild right?
23
24 What about users? Do they need do anything if they have specific targets
25 set? Or all should just use Wildcard and if in ~arch have 3-4+ pythons.
26
27 Even if house cleaning, removing old is not an issue. You still have
28 adding new, and the end user experience.
