That means we would need to fix all packages that depend on python to use this style of dependency notation. Or do some eclass magic with NEED_PYTHON for example. And of course anyone with an unslotted dev-lang/python in their world file will still pull the useless version. Another possible solution is to rename the package to a unique string like dev-lang/python3, tho I agree that is sub-optimal.
