#Python in a nutshell:

  1. Let's use this new fancy #TOML thing for everything, it's so cool!
  2. Everyone starts depending on third-party TOML libraries.
  3. TOML library is finally added to the standard library, so people are moving to conditionally using it.
  4. As old versions of Python become irrelevant, people are finally dropping fallbacks to the third-party library.
  5. TOML 1.1 is introduced, and everyone has to start using a third-party library again… (at least until Python 3.15)

That's in case anyone is wondering why dev-python/tomli is suddenly getting installed on #Gentoo systems again.
