8 New USE flags generally change dependencies (as is the case here), so a
9 new revision ensures that people are forced to install the ebuild that
10 supports python-3.8. Otherwise, you will eventually find a lot of people
11 stuck unable to upgrade because they have an ebuild installed that only
12 supports <=python-3.7, and were never prompted to install the copy that
13 supports python-3.8.
