Who says Python 2 is going to be removed from Fedora 30 at all? I think this
is a completely unrealistic target. Somebody needs to pick it up. It will
not be much effort. There will at some point be no new upstream releases, so
almost zero packaging work. All that is to do is to pick up the security
backports from RHEL/CentOS. I see no benefit from removing the python2
package in such a rush.
