I have some packages which build python 2 subpackages, but they are
not "python packages" as such.  One example is nbdkit:

   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1225638

This package isn't listed in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal/List
I don't know how that list was constructed, whether this was missed by
accident, or design.

Only Python 2 modules (i.e. stuff that installs into
/usr/lib(64)?/python2.7) were detected. Yours seem to be like some
sort of plugins.

Another one would be python2-libguestfs which does install files in
/usr/lib64/python2.7 and is present in the list, but wasn't removed by
anyone nor was a bug filed against it AFAICS.  Anyway I can deal with
this one too.


I get this on the latest compose from February:

$ dnf repoquery --repo=rawhide --repo=rawhide-source --whatrequires python2-libguestfs
imagefactory-0:1.1.11-2.fc30.noarch
kimchi-0:1.5.1-11.fc30.noarch
oz-0:0.16.0-8.fc30.noarch
vdsm-hook-fileinject-0:4.18.999-447.git0bb7717.fc28.noarch

While I'd like to get rid of as much Python 2 packages as possible, I'd advise not to remove packages that are being dependent upon (unless properly communicated with the maintainers of the dependent packages).
