Since we are here ...
I'd still like to see some way to adopt latest python version if user wants
to.
One way it could work is that we add a "LATEST" to PYTHON_TARGETS that
would always build against best version of python.
To avoid complications if a new version of python is emerged together with
other packages it must always include also a numeric version like 3_8

Regarding your proposal getting rid of PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET would be nice
but being able to have multiple version of python installed is nicer and
differentiate gentoo from most other distro

Alternative 2 is also nice, the only thing that make me dubious is that it
looks like it will be a gigantic work, but you have a better sense of the
situation and will be one of those doing the actual work, so go for it!
