There were problems with some packages not being compatible with 3.6. |

Since you have been running that profile for a while, it is unlikely you |
| 16 |
are affected, so you can keep the default at 3.6 by adding this |
| 17 |
to /etc/portage/profile/make.defaults |

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -python3_5 python3_6" |

PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="-python3_5 python3_6" |

It's not ridiculous, it's exactly what the testing tree is for, to find |
| 25 |

leaving nearly three weeks between updates is probably a bit too long. |
