Package X (stable) requires python-2 Package Y (stable) requires python-3 => User can't use both at the same time. You're just introducing another form of dependency hell for the users. They now have to figure out one of the following: a) Find version of Package X that works with python-3 b) Find which old version of Y still works with python-2 c) Force X/Y to use python-2/3 by patching the interpreter called d) Give up and install Ubuntu where somehow magically both work at the same time -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan GNOME+Mozilla Team, Gentoo
