Seems to me that the easiest way to manage this would be to set
USE="python2" for portage in the profile, IFF you want to prevent
python:3 in the stages.

That said, I don't see what the real issue is here. Those that want
python:2 and/or python:3 will set USE_PYTHON correctly. I am concerned
here that a vocal minority will cause some invasive change that the
silent majority cares little about. Some may find the current status
annoying, others will find the change annoying (me being one of the
latter).

Unless someone can provide empirical data to backup any claim, one way
or the other, I would strongly suggest that no change be made,
especially without further consultation regarding the _proposed_
change with the developer and user communities.

Thank you for your consideration.

Matt
