This IME is more an argument that "portage is shit", not so much an
argument that "we need to nuke old pythons"

If this problem was a valid impetus for this removal, we'd have banned
PYTHON_TARGETS entirely a long time ago, and we'd have culled literally
everything that doesn't work on the latest python.

But I don't favour that outcome at all.

I'd rather favour an outcome where portage responds to this scenario in
a useful way that makes coherent sense to users.
