I'm going to be very blunt. I am sick of the finger being pointed |
| 14 |
only at releng for this. |

The issue is package dependencies. |

If even one package in the tree has a dumb dependency on python, e.g. |
| 19 |
dev-lang/python, it will pull in all stable versionf of python. |

|
| 21 |
If all the dependencies are correct, on the other hand, it is a matter |
| 22 |
of setting python_targets to include the versions of python we want in |
| 23 |
the stages and making sure that everything we include in the stages |
| 24 |
works with those versions of python. |
