Up to a few days ago I had

PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8"

in /etc/portage/make.conf

and for any package to be installed for Python2.7, I had something like
media-gfx/cropgui python_targets_python2_7

in /etc/portage/package.use

But now, I have to add python2_7 to PYTHON_TARGETS whenever I want to
emerge a package which needs Python2.7

But keeping
PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_8 python2_7'
in my make.conf
will install an (additional) Python2.7 version whenever the package has
python2_7 in PYTHON_COMPAT in its ebuild file.

Furthermore I would have to add more and more

-python_targets_python2_7
in /etc/portage/package.use

for any package which does not support Python2.7, any more.

I am on the 17.1 desktop profile and use the GIT version of portage.

What has changed and what can I do about it?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
