This is silly. portage itself was broken with python-3.1 and you want
to stabilize it? Why do you want to make it trivial for people to chop
off their feet by mistake (in panic or frustration)?

Actually, how did you make portage work with both 2.x and 3.x at the
same time? I would be very interested to know this since afaik no
useful program can work with both python-3 and python-2 with the same
code.
