Had missed this mail (sorry), not that I have much to say about it.

I'd argue that there's no need to clutter ebuilds with the >=3.7 bit
at this point, <3.7 is long gone (dropped 9 years ago, and its addition
predates the tree's git migration).

Think should keep the dependency itself though, it's not part of
@system on *all* profiles (virtual/os-headers has conditions esp.
with some prefixes). Similar deal to depending on glibc when packages
are prebuilt and cannot be used with musl so pkgcheck can warn if masks
are missing.
