Therefore, if we just postpone the removal of python-urlgrabber to F31 and merge that kojid PR, we could perhaps agree on re-qualifying the change as "self-contained" (plus, there's also the possibility of porting[2] python-urlgrabber to Python 3, but that's for a separate discussion) - the kojid PR[1] is also in-line with another F30 change[3], so there should be enough incentive to have it merged Before I go ahead and edit the proposal: Does this variant make sense to you?
