--- Comment #2 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
If gdb (upstream) doesn't yet target/support Python 3.7, the gdb ports should
be set to 'X-3.6' until it does , rather than being set to BROKEN. 

Python ports should declare only those versions that the software explicitly
supports. 

Granted in most cases most newer versions of Python are backward/forward
compatible, but it pays for maintainers to be as explicit as possible, as often
as possible, without reducing choice.
