Messing with eselect python may not be relevant for much longer.

'python-exec-conf' package was added in ~testing that generates an
appropriate python-exec.conf

This prevents a python that's not in TARGETS from automatically being
default, and old deprecated implementations from staying (assuming run
etc-update anyway, like for anything else).

So most people will probably depclean eselect-python as it's not really
needed unless you have some preference (like pypy3).
