sysutils/ansible and FLAVOR (Python 3.6 support)

Hello everyone,

I am looking at which is the best way to modify the sysutils/ansible
port so that it will use Python3.6. Currently it has the "noflavors"
option in the USE_PYTHON line son only a single packages with
Python2.7 exists in the pkg repo.


Should it be renamed to sysutils/py-ansible and "noflavors" removed?
To produce both py27-ansible and py36-ansible packages in repo,
allowing a choice of Python version

Alternatively, is it better to keep the name as sysutils/ansible and
just change the "USES=python" to "USES=python:3.6+".  However this would
make it a Python3 only package.

Any suggestions as to which approach would be preferable?
