I do. It seems like a lot of work, but we can test and quick-stable it.

Remember when python-3.4 went stable for a minute and this news item went out? Python 3.4 is now enabled by default, replacing Python 3.3 as the default Python 3 interpreter. ... Once the changes have taken place, a world update should take care of reinstalling any python libraries you have installed. You should also switch your default python3 interpreter using eselect python. For example: eselect python set --python3 python3.4 A few hours later, PYTHON_TARGETS was reverted, and no news item went out telling me to undo the eselect.
