As a user, I still think this could turn into a real mess.  I think 
there will be quite a few that will see python being updated, run 
python-updater and switch it to the new python.  At that point, it is 
going to hit the fan.  I know because this is what I always do.  News 
item or not, when python gets updated, I run python-updater and make 
sure it is selected.

If this somehow breaks portage, which it shouldn't since apparently 
portage is fine with the new python, then it is going to really hit the fan.

Me, I'm going to make SURE nothing changes on my system.  Then I'm going 
to sit back and see what happens, good or bad.  I can't imagine anything 
good but I sure can imagine bad things.
