They are not worth mentioning in my opinion, since those would be the
shared builds (python-shared) and config binaries (python-{shared}-config).
Right now I would not want to name any specific benefit, since this

something like
This change allows the FreeBSD python ports to be used with different

or
This change will enable other Python implementations to act as default
Python interpreter in the future.
feels to vague to me. If you think, it's worth mentioning, I'll put it
