It's about users.  Once "python" means python3 (which is a decision that
the python upstream will eventually make), a user should be getting a
python3 version when they type "dnf install python-foo".

Packages should of course always specify the version and should never
use python-* for anything unless there is no alternative.  (Which is the
what the current packaging guidelines state.)
