• [gentoo-dev] [RFC] The future of Python 3.10 target

    Hi,

    As I've mentioned before (and documented in the PG as well), the main
    reason for keeping python3_10 target in Gentoo was having a CPython
    version matching our current PyPy branch. Now that PyPy3.11 is out,
    it's time to start considering its removal.

    I'd like to synchronize removing pypy3 and python3_10 targets. I have
    three options in mind:

    1) removing the targets as soon as we port everything to pypy3_11,

    2) removing the targets when upstream does the first PyPy release
    without pypy3_10 branch (if that happens between 1) and 3)),

    3) removing the targets when we switch the default to Python 3.13 (i.e. probably May-June as usual).

    As usual, dev-lang/python:3.10 itself will remain usable for venv
    at least until the EOL, and then for as long as we can maintain it. dev-lang/pypy:3.10 will be removed once upstream discontinues it.

    WDYT?
