Yes, we hear you.
Fedora's Python version migration needs to be coordinated with RHEL.
It is. However it is hard to coordinate a future change with RHEL7
that is kinda designed not to change much.
It isn't with just RHEL7. Customers of RHEL are probably going to want
to run their python2 code for years after it is EOL. If something has
been written as part of a regulatory compliance (say a plane/car/rocket
simulation).. that code is locked for 20 years whether the language
below is alive or not. If the code was written for infrastructure it
might be 60 years. So as Python became the goto language for science and
engineering.. it has also become the language of regulations and other
things. RHELn may still need to have python be able to point to python2
because customers need it for reasons we in Fedora or the Python
community do not care about.
From the conversations, this is the part that seems less explored.
Because we discuss those things trough Red Hat channels.
