I think=20 there will be quite a few that will see python being updated, run=20 python-updater and switch it to the new python. At that point, it is=20 going to hit the fan. I know because this is what I always do. News=20 item or not, when python gets updated, I run python-updater and make=20 sure it is selected. If this somehow breaks portage, which it shouldn't since apparently=20 portage is fine with the new python, then it is going to really hit the f= an. Me, I'm going to make SURE nothing changes on my system. Then I'm going=20 to sit back and see what happens, good or bad. I can't imagine anything=20 good but I sure can imagine bad things.
