Yes, we could. And *AFTER* that happens, then it will be time to *cry* ;)
for the stabilization of 3.1, not now. Some people don't seem to realize
that most distros are not using 3.1, and even if they were using it, Gentoo
would still be a very special case because python is a core piece in this
OS, and not on any other.
