I have a Pyhton 3.12 SlackBuild:

https://git.caraus.tech/OSS/slackbuilds/src/branch/master/python3.12

I tried to submit it recently to SBo and my submission was rejected, because it 
would result in even move duplications in Python packages, so python2-packages, 
python3-packages, python3.12-packages. Maybe it would be possible to make all 
Python 3 packages depend on a newer Python 3 version provided by SBo and not by 
core Slackware.

There was a similar attempt to submit newer ruby version.

But, yeah, we’re not living in the world where programming languages are stable.
