I hope I don't need that package any time soon... Keep in mind that python is slotted, so you can have both in most cases. It only gets messy when you start having conflicts. I did have a package try to downgrade another package because python-2 support is enabled by default and the newer version of the package didn't support it. The package didn't need python-2 - it was just responding to the profile defaults. I just manually set the USE flags for that package to disable python-2 for it. It probably wouldn't have hurt much to do the downgrade either, but that isn't ideal. I suspect we'll see this stuff continue to shuffle for a few more weeks and then as the old versions of python are banned/etc the issues will start to go away. I think the main reason this is so user-visible is that the profiles were changed before all the packages supported the newer versions. -- Rich
