Sorry for my delay in replying here... been busy. ;(
Looking at the list of things that would go away (from the wiki page):
cobbler
ddiskit
diskimage-builder
dlrn
dnf-plugins-core
? dnf-plugins-core is kind of important, is this a false positive?
Or does it mean python2-dnf-plugin*?
Yes, it's python2-dnf-plugin-migrate.
The list I provided contains packages from koji/dist-git/bugzilla perspective (srpm names).
fusioninventory-agent
grinder
imgbased
kiwi
koji
koji is kinda important. I think this is meaning python2-koji?
I would hope python3-koji/koji stays around?
ditto
koji-containerbuild
We like containers these days, don't we?
libtaskotron
And testing?
lpf
mach
mash
mirrormanager
And mirrors (this one isn't as important as we run mirrormanager on
rhel, but still)
nagios-plugins-check-updates
osc
perl-Fedora-Rebuild
plague
pulp-rpm
repo_manager
repoview
retrace-server
This also runs on rhel, but sooner or later will need porting.
rpm-ostree-toolbox
sigul
This is kinda important.
snake
system-config-kickstart
yum-axelget
yum-rhn-plugin
yum-updatesd
So, I'm personally not too keen on this at this point. I suppose if it
happens then we will need to maintain/keep a fork of yum3 in
infrastructure for tools, at which point it might be best to just keep
it in the distro.
I don't know the porting plans for all the above stuff, but I would
personally really prefer retiring only after they were ported or at
least we know there's a plan for them.
If the critical packages don't get ported in time, we can postpone removing yum to the next release.
I think the hard deadline is when Python 2 gets removed from the distro (depending on Python 2 indicates
that some packages are not Python 3 ready yet).
