They are not worth mentioning in my opinion, since those would be the
shared builds (python-shared) and config binaries (python-{shared}-config).

Right now I would not want to name any specific benefit, since this
could give users the wrong impression that it is available already and
something like

  This change allows the FreeBSD python ports to be used with different
  Python versions at the same time as a mid-term goal.

or

  This change will enable other Python implementations to act as default
  Python interpreter in the future.

feels to vague to me. If you think, it's worth mentioning, I'll put it
in, though.

Cheers
Marcus
