I do have one question because I get the vipe from you that mixing
python 3.11 and 3.12 would be a bad thing:
the news item lists in the save upgrade section those lines:
*/* PYTHON_TARGETS: -* python3_11 python3_12
*/* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_11
This is mixing python 3.11 and 3.12 on the same system. This should be
working as well, shouldn't it? Shouldn't portage be able to deal with
this, at least until python 3.11 gets deprecated? Why else would there
be the chance to define more than one python target? And both versions
of python are emerged in different slots. There might not be an
advantage and the disadvantage to carry around two versions of python
but shouldn't this work non the less?
