mock defaults to setting up buildroots for older OSes with yum, from
the containing OS' side. yum is python2-only. So a py2-less host OS
can't build for older OSes, without some finagling. In fact currently
mock _defaults_ to yum, even for newer OSes, so removing python2 breaks
mock's default invocation.

Vaguely related, there's no way to pass --yum or --dnf to fedpkg
mockbuild. I've filed a bug about this, which has gotten no attention:
