Description Ulenrich 2019-12-09 17:36:12 UTC
for amd64 python-3.7.5-r1 is stable! 
But profile mask states otherwise:
--- profiles/arch/amd64/use.stable.mask
# Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> (2017-06-08)
# dev-lang/python:3.7 is not stable.
python_targets_python3_7
python_single_target_python3_7
---
(
I was disturbed on my unstable Gentoo, because putting some 
cate-gories/* stable
seemed to have unwanted outcome ignoring available pathon-3.7
)

You must understand that *all* arches have to be stable before this is removed.

Sorry, I was't aware of this policy
I can imagine a good reason for example with multilib 
when now python-3.7 is still unstable on x86
Comment 3 Ulenrich 2019-12-09 18:26:14 UTC
And a reason for app-office/libreoffice-bin-6.2.8.2
when a USE threads with python-3.6 is used
that doesn't exist with python-3.7 any more
