Not forever, just until Python 2.7 is removed :D
Seriously thou, my proposal is:
- deprecate it now
- announce it goes away when RHEL 8 maintenance support ends
Following the guidelines for deprecated packages:

# This is when RHEL 8 maintenance support is expected to end
#https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

You are going to support OpenSSL 1.1 in RHEL 8 until that day anyway.
This is also when we plan to remove Python 3.6:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/W74WYEVGYAE57KVLCG73I75LZYKKUMXS/
And if Python 2.7 isn't removed by then, we can rip it out together with
OpenSSL 1.1 in Fedora 50.
Are you going to maintain it till Fedora 50 in the meantime?
That is a very good question. No I won't. I am a member of a Red Hat team that
maintains Python in RHEL and Fedora Linux, including a very old legacy Python
version without upstream support. I merely expect the same treatment from the
OpenSSL maintainers who proposed this change proposal (I assumed they are the
RHEL OpenSSL maintainers, correct me if they are not).
I understand that I cannot *make* anybody maintain what they don't want. I am
merely suggesting a solution that I consider good for the distro. I believe the
RHEL OpenSSL maintainers who already need to maintain 1.1 at least until RHEL 8
goes EOL are much better equipped to maintain it in Fedora than I am.
But as said elsewhere, when it comes to that, we would be either forced to
bundle OpenSSL 1.1 (and well, maintain it) or to get rid of Python 2.
