I strongly agree. On a more general note I find it super sad that distributions purge Python 2 only because it is EOL upstream when it still has many use cases. It's not a problem for me but it does demonstrate how little critical thinking happens within distributions. So projects must be extra critical about dependencies. I prefer changing nothing (change != progress) or banning Python for the coreboot build. Utilities (and payloads) not needed for the actual coreboot build can continue to use it. openssl + dd could probably calculate and inject hashes.
