Yes.  But basically, I don't think we can rely on everyone porting their Ansible
code to Python3 anytime soon.  Among other reasons, many, many organizations
will need their Ansible (and in general, "config mgmt/scripting") to work across
RHEL7 and Fedora hosts.  For Fedora Atomic Host (which may be different from
Workstation!) I don't see dropping /usr/bin/python as python2 until RHEL7 is
near EOL.  Maybe we don't do security updates for it etc., but still.
