--- Comment #3 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Greg V from comment #2)

USES=python is for declarative, not for imperative use, and must declare
all/any versions a package supports. This allows, rather than restricts a user
to select what version they want, for packages that support that version.

This has no bearing on whether you (or anyone else) can keep Python X on their
system or not, in fact, it helps achieve that, by not restrictive Python
choices unnecessarily.

If dot2tex has supported Python 3 up to this point, its
USES=python:<version-spec> up until now has too been unecessarily restricted
and incorrectly used. Is this the case or was Python 3 support only added in
2.11.3, the version submitted here?
