6 Maybe the python herd could maintain a little status page which covers
7 informations like:
8 - Estimated python 3 compatibility in respect to the packages in the
9 main tree.
10 - Recommendations if installing makes sense or not (e.g. package X gains
11 feature Y with python 3).
12 - Recommendations if setting python 3 as system engine makes already
13 sense or not.
14 This way gentoo can give its users the tools needed to make a good
15 decision if python 3 makes sense on his system. For me as a user I need
16 more time to study if an action makes sense than implementing said
17 action (e.g. locally masking python 3 - It would not be the first time
18 masking a package). If one isn't into python, it gets even more complicated.
