Especially since the Gentoo core system extensively uses Python. By the way, does Portage work with Python 3 yet? > Seriously, it's out there, there's no reason to keep it from stable. > Just prevent people from making python invoke 3.x and everything will > be fine. >=20 Yeah, right, let's install it on all those stable machines, but then not use it. Way to go!
