What makes that different from just enabling the --majorver-provides
and allowing people to use "python3dist(somemodule)" or
"python2dist(somemodule)"?
That said, it's not out of the question to be able to work that way,
as Ruby works similarly in openSUSE (since their system allows them to
support more than one version of ruby in parallel if they want) and
libraries work that way in Mageia.
