Loosen minimal Python versions to accept any version in a given slot. Lower bounds are cumbersome to maintain and cause problems when upgrading outdated systems, particularly when sys-libs/glibc is involved.
We could technically apply some hack to make any-r1 dependency checks to conditionally ignore minimal versions but that sounds like unnecessary complexity. In the end, minimum versions were primarily enforced to make sure users got the latest bugfixes but that doesn't seem strictly necessary.
