Just as you said, it might not so easy to fix things all now,
but I think changes for better are a good thing and worth the effort.
Everyone love to see consistent system layout, right?
And having a beautiful system forces the system to remain same, I
think.
As python2.5 should be the stable version and python2.4 slowly
disappear, I feel renaming dozens of ports is just not worth it.
Not dozens: 336.
The future is bright but there is no python<2.5 in it. And in fact,
obtaining a beautiful python modules tree would mean having one
port per
package that builds conveniently for each installed python, not having
py24-blabla, py25-blabla, py26-blabla and py30-blabla that are
identical
but a few characters...
This was debated before and it was decided by those who understand
python that separate ports made more sense. I believe part of the
reason was that you might want to have both python-24- and python-25-
versions of a given port installed.
