This is premature.  We have lang/python37 still.  What we have done, is
remove 37 from the default set of python versions.   Which means that
pbulk will not try to build anything 37, but that someone who wants 37
can put it back and deal.   It's thus perfectly ok to still have 37 in
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE.

Your cleanups will make sense *after* we actually cvs rm lang/python37,
which is likely to happen after it is formally EOL.
