What about postponing this change to F32? I'd prefer python2 to be retired and gone from the distro first, and the symlink and %python_provide definition only switched then. I think that having this middle state where python2 is available but python points to python3 for exactly one release will be more confusing that switching directly to the final state where python2 is gone and python simply means python3.
