--- Comment #7 from Andrew Berg <aberg010 at my.hennepintech.edu> ---
Making the default 3.5 will break many things because of limitations in
Poudriere and/or ports. Currently, Poudriere cannot calculate dependencies of
dependencies correctly for Python. Because of the isolation that Poudriere
enforces, it can build dependencies for the *default* version of Python rather
than what is needed to satisfy the dependency. Samba and Salt are good examples
- go try to build packages for them using Poudriere with 3.x set as the default
Python.

IIRC, Baptiste is trying to solve issues like this with subpackages, where a
port can then depend on a specific subpackage which is built with specific
options rather than a port, which can have any arbitrary options set.
