Bug 296340: lang/python: "meta-port for the default version of Python
interpreter", but uses deprecated version
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=296340



--- Description ---
I feel like I might be misunderstanding something here, and I apologize if I
am, but:

I was recently upgrading my system to use Python 3.12 (due to the recent
default version change), and I happened to notice that there's a port
"lang/python", which claims to be a "meta-port for the default version of
Python interpreter". But it looks to me like it's for 3.9, and 3.9 is (A) not
the default version of the Python interpreter and (B) no longer supported (not
even for security fixes) for like eight months now.

Maybe this port should be updated? Or maybe even deleted?
