Right. The real problem here is that virt-manager is still using python2, which long past EOL, and is planned to be removed.
The current plan, per [1] is for virt-manager to become uninstallable after this, and see if anyone complains.
If virt-manager is important to you, perhaps you could help us bring it up to date?
