It is exactly two lines. No more, no less.
Here are the two lines in question, quoted from the news item:
Deferring the upgrade
=====================
To defer the upgrade, explicitly set the old targets:
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_11
*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_11
You can't possibly be dealing with "having to add hundreds of lines to
package.use" unless one of two things is true:
- you did not read the news item
- you read the news item, but decided to NOT defer the upgrade, and
instead tried to mix both python 3.11 and python 3.12 together on your
system
