Would you please say more.  I don't see any problem.

Can you say more?  What's multilib?  How many versions do you get under 
normal/reasonable conditions?

Is this a Gentoo quirk?  What does "rev" bind to?  2?  2.7?  2.7.15?

Fedora has many packages available in two versions.  Examples:
  python2-dnf-4.0.9-1.fc29.noarch
  python3-dnf-4.0.9-1.fc29.noarch

On 64 bit Fedora:
  PYTHONDIR                     :  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages 
  PYTHONARCHDIR                 :  /usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages 

  PYTHONDIR                     :  /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages 
  PYTHONARCHDIR                 :  /usr/local/lib64/python3.7/site-packages
