New USE flags generally change dependencies (as is the case here), so a
new revision ensures that people are forced to install the ebuild that
supports python-3.8. Otherwise, you will eventually find a lot of people
stuck unable to upgrade because they have an ebuild installed that only
supports <=python-3.7, and were never prompted to install the copy that
supports python-3.8.
