To be honest, I also realized this would cause problems just after
sending my previous mail. This would generate conflicting packages of
python[23]*. This definitely needs to be fixed. I apologize of
committing this bug (three years ago!)

This is what we did originally, and I thought what Josh said is
reasonable:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/109550
I'm still thinking about a good solution, any suggestions?
My current thought is there might be no perfect solution of this, and
what ${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION} defined should get /usr/local/bin/python,
any other ports need specified version python should modify their
shebang with ${PYTHON_CMD}.

I think that all people on this list are the maintainers, the only
difference is some of us having commit bit and need to serve others
more. :)
