Agreed on the documentation but my thought process is anyone using RTEMS 5 will 
be using modern machines.  If they are in a situation where they have to 
carefully maintain an already active instance of RTEMS 5 then they will want to 
keep their build environment the same.  We are only a year or two away from 
every major UNIX system killing Python 2.  FreeBSD already has and some Linux 
distributions.

If your system is that critical you'll be hand applying patches to RTEMS and 
not updating your build environment anyway.  

I'm of the mind we should support users who work on modern systems but need 
older versions of RTEMS.  Also killing Python 2 across the board will be a 
_massive_ help to us.
