I'm not sure this list is terribly useful, because of the above. There
are thousands of packages that do this, because the 'python2-' provide
is not available on some older Fedora release, or on EPEL (and the
package is maintained for EPEL as well as Fedora). Sprinkling "if (some
release number condition) then Requires: python2-foo else Requires:
python-foo" all over your spec is a giant PITA and I for one am not
very interested in doing it.

IMHO, if there is going to be some kind of requirement that all Python
requires be explicitly versioned, there needs to be a co-ordinated
effort to make sure the versioned Provides are available across at
least EL6, EL7, and all supported Fedora releases *first*.
