22 Aha, but do we really -need- 95% of the features? :) Personally
23 (this is my investment in this project) I'd just like to see
24 non-distutils ebuilds needing python support using PYTHON_TARGETS.
25 Also, I'd like to see that anything at all which new-distutils
26 (whatever it be called) might need the old python.eclass for be
27 integrated into new-distutils (probably via new-python).
