It's 2.6* because at the time we didn't have EAPI=1 and >=2.6.3 would have included 2.8. We can make it >=2.6.3:2.6 now with an EAPI=1 SLOT depend, meanwhile you can upgrade your wxpython by adding --deep to your world updating command or doing it separately with --oneshot. Lower than 2.6.3 were removed from the tree before wxmozilla-0.5.7_pre20070101 was added to tree, as far as I recall.
Removed.
