I *am* a stable user, and I do want to install python3 (without having to override keywords -- because my packager, the gentoo python team, says it works!). I recognize the cruft problem, but I don't think keeping things in unstable is the right solution for solving it, because they should IMO be orthogonal. > Yet that's the net effect -- everyone *will* have it installed. . . unless > folks start getting crafty with pseudo version ranges, as Zac mentioned. I guess we'll have to do that then. Cheers, Dirkjan
