As a user, I still think this could turn into a real mess. 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.
