 the situation would be worse as each port that uses Python would use
 whatever version the author felt like using.

 What about leaving this decision to the user? I could decide on my
 birthday, or first day of spring, or 1. of April, to upgrade. There are
 only a place and a means needed to do so. The MacPorts policy could become
 "add a new Python variant when next year begins." Which could be done to
 the Portfiles automatically, a script.

 MacPorts needs an upgrade because it greedily changes test files that
 p5-poe creates during install phase in its build area ($worksrcpath), not
 destroot, to be owned by root that tests fail reliably. And MacPorts needs
 another upgrade to allow socket communication – and sockets have a
 limitation of their path names length to one hundred and less than a
 handful of characters. So it would be easy to integrate the users' choice
 as well.
