-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I would immediately need a patch for Gentoo if we follow this path. Build system must ensure that it builds bytecode targeted for oldest version possible. If we don't supply these parameters we can't guarantee that this is the case. But this doesn't mean we can bump the oldest version we support by changing these numbers.
