switching to Python 3.13. I'm trying to decide whether to defer the

After a normal --sync and -auvND world, it seems I suddenly need to
specify use flags python_targets and python_single_target for various
packages.
I've never had to set those before.
Yesterday's update went fine.
Any idea what happened?

I'm working on an application that allows you to remap/mix/reconfigure
the channels/buttons on a USB joystick/game-controller device. That
requires access to /dev/uinput which is used to create a "synthetic"
joystick device and feed data to it.
On Gentoo /dev/uinput is accessible only to root.

'emerge -auvND world', portage installs the following:
qttools
qtbase
qttranslations
xcb-util-cursor
Afterwards, when I do 'emerge --depclean', it uninstalls them.
Any ideas why? It's getting a little annoying.

This morning a routine emerge -auvND wanted to install 17 new packages
for no apparent reason.
Adding a 't' to the emerge options seems to point to pip, which now
wants to install a whole shed-load of new packages — among them
dev-python/poetry and a bunch of markdown and rich-text libraries. Oh

Is there any graceful way to handle the elimination of unwanted
linux-firmware blobs when doing an update?
I believe I understand the process as outlined at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Linux_firmware:
1. install/upgrade sys-kernel/linux-firmware
2. edit /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/linu
