It's starting to seem awkward for python's default to be at 2.3, when
there are increasinly many packages that need 2.4.  I tried to build
some things that depended on a 2.4-only package and gave up, adding

PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=3D		24

to /etc/mk.conf, which resulted in successful builds.

Is it time to change the default to 24?
