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 -- Matthew W. Summers Gentoo Foundation Inc.
