Correct. And Python 2.7 is going to be retired by the end of the year.
I am not updating some packages for the reason you mentioned, but
I think we should either get rid of some, or create multiple version, like
SciPy.

In ham/gnuradio-core/options.mk I see

DEPENDS+= ${PYPKGPREFIX}-scipy-[0-9]*:../../math/py-scipy12

Is it still picking the newer version for you?

Yes.
