That means we would need to fix all packages that depend on |
| 12 |
python to use this style of dependency notation. Or do some |
| 13 |
eclass magic with NEED_PYTHON for example. |

|
| 15 |
And of course anyone with an unslotted dev-lang/python in their |
| 16 |
world file will still pull the useless version. |

Another possible solution is to rename the package to a unique |
| 19 |
string like dev-lang/python3, tho I agree that is sub-optimal. |
