It's not just all the Python 2 code that is packaged in Fedora though, but also all the Python 2 code people are running on their machines. By gradually (or sooner than Fedora 30) getting rid of all the libraries and other Python 2 stuff it at least gives the option for those people who get surprised to fix things before the Python interpreter itself goes EOL and doesn't get security fixes. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
