[gentoo-dev] [RFC] The future of Python 3.10 target

Hi,

As I've mentioned before (and documented in the PG as well), the main
reason for keeping python3_10 target in Gentoo was having a CPython
version matching our current PyPy branch.  Now that PyPy3.11 is out,
it's time to start considering its removal.

I'd like to synchronize removing pypy3 and python3_10 targets.  I have
three options in mind:

1) removing the targets as soon as we port everything to pypy3_11,

2) removing the targets when upstream does the first PyPy release
without pypy3_10 branch (if that happens between 1) and 3)),

3) removing the targets when we switch the default to Python 3.13 (i.e.
probably May-June as usual).

As usual, dev-lang/python:3.10 itself will remain usable for venv
at least until the EOL, and then for as long as we can maintain it. 
dev-lang/pypy:3.10 will be removed once upstream discontinues it.

WDYT?
