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.
