Well, to be fair the writing has been on the wall for Python ever since the release of 3.0 in 2008. With the sunset date
of 2020 we're talking 12 years. Ultimately, it's the responsibility of upstream to do the migration. It's not like they haven't had
plenty of notice. If upstream no longer cares, it's not practical for Fedora to accept the ongoing maintenance for these packages.
That's just not realistic nor sustainable.
