I've always thought renaming python-3 to python3 is faux-namespacing,
and the thing SLOTs are supposed to help out with. Why aren't SLOTs
helping us with this?
The problem I have with it is that inevitably there's going to be a
time we don't care about python-2 anymore, and we'll be stuck with the
python3 package name (or have to go through annoying mechanics to
rename it back).
I agree that installing both is probably overkill for most users. I
think the solution is somewhere outside the dev-lang/python package,
though, in having the system set or portage or whatever the hell it is
that first pulls in python prefer python-2.
Cheers,
Dirkjan
