Every time there's a Python upgrade like this, it turns into a bit of
an ordeal because I always have a small handful of packages that don't
support the newer version.
The news item offers no advice on what to do in this situation other
than completely postponing the upgrade of everything (which doesn't
seem like the best choice.)
It would be nice if the news item explained how to let the upgrade
procede while holding back a few packages.
Can you set 3_9 and 3_10 globally, and then disable 3_10 for a few
individual packages that can't be built with 3_10?
As far as I can tell, you just need to add python_targets_python3_9 for
the package in the appropriate package.use file.
