Obviously !<media-gfx/mypaint-1.2.2 is an error since the very latest upstream version to date is v1.2.1-beta.1.
media-gfx/mypaint-1.2.2 is going to be the first release relying on external (rather than contained) libmypaint. I don't see value in a change, I do see value in status quo. I would personally like to close this ticket as not-a-bug. Any objections?

Considering mypaint 1.2.2 doesn't exist, it's most certainly a bug. Unless we're somehow able to know that libmypaint is magically guaranteed to not conflict with a future 1.2.2. 1.2.0 is the latest stable version, with 1.2.1 in beta upstream.
Mypaint does not contain libmypaint (or brushlib) in Git master any more but rather depends on external libmypaint, e.g. see https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/commit/679cc2b1396665e5a7005c1adc08387cbb2e799f What's the problem with blocking <1.2.2 and what do you propose for a substitute?

Ah, that was my concern, so I'm glad to see it's not a dependency in the future :) . The only thing I could see is possibly needing a change to 1.2.1, but I imagine we won't know that until a release actually.

Let's adjust as needed once we have the next mypaint release in Gentoo.
