Depends: for end-users, it could mean a smaller bill each month on storage. But I agree that we're not ready to drop python and it's *unlikely* before a long time. I also agree that it shouldn't be a high/medium priority task. As for dnf, there are discussion upstream to rewrite it in C, VMWare has also written a drop-in replacement for dnf based on hawkey/librepo that could be considered.
