Epylog is a python27 program and I have not had the time to convert it

a FTBFS during rebuilds.. I see the following:
1. Retire it in rawhide
2. Make it a python27 module?
I am looking for advise on which people would recommend.
Thank you
Why would it FTBFS?
Yeah.. sorry.. what is the term for "Is packaged up but needs a python
which we deprecated/stopped supporting?"
Well so far the only thing that happens is that the current maintainers
will orphan the python2 package. What happens next is, well.. unknown
yet. Looking into porting stuff to python3 is a good idea, however I
don't understand what would be the benefit of putting python2 in a
module. Somebody would still need to maintain in.
Also, as advertised before we are willing to support some kind of
python2 package needed by applications, what we want to get rid of are
unneeded libraries - ideally we would only keep the stuff that's needed.
There are 722 packages that build python2 subpackages for no good. I
expect if removed, others get unblocked. Not counting python2 only
packages with modules that nothing depends on.
