You mean that you port things from 2.7 to 3.7, and then from 3.7 to 3.11? To do that, do you need python3.7 in wip python3.7 in pkgsrc, but no python-depending packages for 37 python3.7 in pkgsrc, with 37 packages not built unless added? also some python-depending packages or really: if we removed it anyway, how much extra work would that impose on you? (to be compared to the work on the part of others to deal with the breakage we have now) I guess the other question is would you like to keep after PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE to keep the bulk results clean? Right now the bulk build results are not serving their intended purpose because the big breakage list is all faux 37 stuff.
