--- Comment #9 from Matthias Andree <mandree@FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't have strong opinions either way but am slightly inclined to keep
tauthon.mk separate from Python. 

My thinking is the majority of important packages should have switched to
Python 3.x now, and for these, we don't need tauthon.for those, and we should
not care.

For packages where the upstream maintainers made a clear decision not to port
to Python 3.x (Mailman 2.x for instance, where 3.x is a rewrite-from-scratch
with all lost features and other idiosyncrasies that entails), tauthon is an
option, and there a switch to a USES=tauthon would not really hurt.

I am not familiar with Python porting to FreeBSD, so perhaps adding python@ to
Cc: brings some people in that can help with making the decision on my
questions above in comment #7,
