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.
"Developers who unfortunately still need to support it" - they will need to
build their packages. If you remove those macros, you will make their life harder.
This is not about Fedora developers, but about 3rd party developers who built
their projects on top of Fedora.
Note that we don't want to support building Python 2 RPM packages any more, same
as we don't support building Python 3.6 or 3.7 packages. We support the
alternate Python versions for developers to be able to develop on and test on
them, we do not support actually running applications or deploying stuff.
If there are others who'd like to support Python 2 in Fedora, speak up.
(I am actually leaning towards keeping the macros when I see the feedback, just
trying to explain our motivation.)
