python-exec: Invalid impl in /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf: python3.6

I just did an update, and ran "etc-update". I got...

I selected "-5" and it worked. /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf
consists of a bunch of comments, and 2 uncommented lines...

python3.8
python3.6

The comments mention that...
# Note: this file can be modified by calls to 'eselect python'.
So I did...

grep -v ^# /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf

...still shows 2 lines...

python3.8
python3.6

...No change at all. Now what? Should I manually edit
/etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf and remove "python3.6"?

It'd be fine but the proper way would be:

eselect python cleanup

Hopefully this may no longer be needed in the future given a new setup
is being prepared in ~testing, but for now just cleanup :)

I pair this with "eselect python update" to make sure that the latest
version is selected. I've had fewer random portage complaints that
way.

YMMV

Messing with eselect python may not be relevant for much longer.

'python-exec-conf' package was added in ~testing that generates an
appropriate python-exec.conf

This prevents a python that's not in TARGETS from automatically being
default, and old deprecated implementations from staying (assuming run
etc-update anyway, like for anything else).

So most people will probably depclean eselect-python as it's not really
needed unless you have some preference (like pypy3).
