Well, theoretically it's still possible to have a python-2 only Gentoo
install. In practice that is probably not very useful anymore since more and
more packages require python-3 (meson, future icu, ...). So I don't really
mind (and I suspect that some people from our python team will be secretly
glad about it).
As for python-3 versions, python-3.4 is our "oldest", so no problem.
Cheers, Andreas
