If there are no objections, I would like to enable python3.4 by

profiles/base/make.defaults:
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_4"
I would like to note that we only have around 50 packages that require
python3, while the majority requires python2, and the remainder will
function with either. For this reason it seems to make more sense to
me to only set PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" as default, and leave adding
any python3_* targets to the user. This will also debloat our stage3
tarballs.
What are those 50 packages, if you have the list handy? Its not the
number but their impact. Some of the stuff I do requires python3 and
while it would be possible to live with python2 only in the stages, it
would require more bootstrapping work on my part. I suspect others may
be in the same situation.
In fact, I'm looking forward to python3.4 because it cleans up some
stuff wrt to os.makedirs() and similar minutiae. So I'm all for the
july 25 date.
