FESCo doesn't just deny requests to keep python2 packages willy-nilly: - 20 requests were accepted - 4 were closed because the port to python3 happened in the meantime - 1 was closed because maintainers assume that a port will happen before F32 - 1 was rejected because maintainers couldn't provide a list of packages that need the exception - 1 was rejected because there was no hope for a python3 port because of lack of development. Also note that there is a blanket approval for using just python2 at build time.
