My point here is that I want to keep Python 2 much longer (for developers who
unfortunately still need to support it, e.g. for RHEL 7) than I'd like to keep
allowing packages to buiid with it.
Similarly there are no macros for Python 3.5 or 3.7 in Fedora, but the Pythons
are available.
I'd also like to stop worrying about compatibility of the Python RPM generators
with Python 2 packages (it gets extremely hard to test, as the real word
scenarios in Fedora are currently almost non-existent).
Moving the Python 2 macro files (and the python2-rpm-macros package)
from the python-rpm-macros package to the python27 package would also
simplify this eventual retirement.
That might be the way if the proposal is rejected (or reduced to generators
only), I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

We are really removing the Python 2 "stuff" (except for the interpreter itself)
from the distribution, slowly but steadily. This change does not in general
impact packages that happen to need Python 2 to build only, it only impacts a
dozen of "Python 2 packages".
