New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/47982#issuecomment-1872404161 Comment: I definitely would not let such a special-interest package like this hold up the annual Python update, and agree that routinely breaking the package with updates would be a terrible experience that militates against packaging for Void. As abby notes, the `python3.11` package exists **only** to support a few packages that require Python to build (and vendor the packages they require for the process) and cannot build with the newer system version. Users are free to install that package and build virtual environments with it, but system packages that attempt to build modules for `python3.11` or link its libraries will not be allowed.
