Ok. There was such a news. However, I have actually followed the following
recommendation in it, before the last python_target switch from 3.5 to 3.6:
If you would like to postpone the switch to Python 3.6, you can copy
the current value of PYTHON_TARGETS and/or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET
to /etc/portage/make.conf or its equivalent:
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5"
but the emerge gave strange errors mentioned above and aborted.
