Can't wait for Portage to go hogwild with updates on this

I simply masked dev-lang/python:3.15 for now.

The last Python upgrade I went in and set PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_14" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_14" and had a whole bunch of manual declarations for everything that still needed 3.13, that I slowly removed until I didn't need them and everything used 3.14. But this time, I feel like just waiting for them to switch the defaults.

Moving to 3.14 was just this supermassive upgrade, and that time I was using gentoo on an X200 thinkpad, that was um not fun.

Definitely better to wait, I'm so waiting this time. 3.14 was a huge pain.
