Comment (by michaelld):

 hmmm ... maybe but not necessarily I think. I didn't rev-bump the port,
 and since this is a variant whatever is installed still remains. And,
 updates will use the same variant unless enforced otherwise ... yes? If
 so, then I don't see this as an issue in an immediate sense, because
 user's installs will not change, and whatever in their install required
 Boost +python27 will remain intact until they tell it otherwise. Or, am I
 missing something here?
