12 I think python-single-r1 is one of the major problems for users,
13 because they have to mess with two variables/useflags. Most just put
14 PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_3" or something in make.conf which then
15 again affects all packages and WILL cause blockers/unresolvable deps.
16
17 Afair in the very early versions we just picked the "best"
18 implementation and were done with it (since a python-single-r1 package
19 should not provide modules anyway).

21 What is wrong with that approach (except that it still causes useless
22 rebuilds)? Do users really need that sort of control over non-module
23 packages? If they really do, you can still do some additional work and
24 make a real python-r1 package out of it.
