Comment (by mojca):

 Variants make sense when a port needs to transition to a newer version of
 dependency, but is not quite compatible yet. Or it would make sense to
 provide variants if some other program / module needed to access the
 classes provided by meson. I don't really see much of an added benefit to
 provide variants here other than the ability for a user to avoid
 installing another version of python, but we should all be at 3.6 already,
 shouldn't we? ;)

 Even if it is a python module: does any other module or software need its
 libraries?
