Nothing is changing from the Ansible perspective, which is why nothing has
been said. Ansible modules will still be required to support Python 2.6+
and controller code will still be required to support Python 2.7+.

This will likely continue until the EOL of Linux distributions that use
Python 2, such as RHEL7.

Red Hat will continue supporting Python 2 for RHEL7 until June 2024 iirc.

We may decide to drop python 2 support on the controller before RHEL7 EOL,
but should we make such a decision it will be announced at that time.
