That is exactly the attitude I am complaining about!
It would be very much possible to support the Python 2 parts of the spec,
without even shipping unmaintained software: Package Tauthon 2.8.4, and make
both /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2 symlinks to /usr/bin/tauthon. That
should have been the Python 2 migration plan from the beginning, instead of
the package mass retirement spree that was done instead. (And Python 3
should never have been installed as /usr/bin/python. Scripts with
#!/usr/bin/python expect Python 2, silently replacing it with Python 3
breaks the scripts. Anything aware that a Python 3 exists uses, or at least
SHOULD use, #!/usr/bin/python3.)
But Fedora just does not care about keeping working software working.

That makes sense, but the issue is the latter part, not the former.
