I think it makes sense to make the switch before we retire, because
then people's expectations are changed ahead of time and they can
adapt to The Future(TM).
Actually I think it makes more sense that F31 provides no /usr/bin/python. Then a lot of things which depend on it can be found and fixed since they have not adapted to the Future any other way.
But it also efectively leaves a "hole" in the availability of the "python" command for a single Fedora release - that's not good user experience IMHO.
