The main difference was/is: - We need volunteers to to maintain packages. The Fedora Python team made clear they would not maintain an EOL'd Python 2 longer than they already committed to (e.g. F31 ships Python 2 which is EOL for a month now). There is a volunteer for gstreamer 0.10 but afaik there was no such offer for Python 2 (including the stack of Python libraries as many Fedora packagers do not have the time to maintain libraries on an EOL'd Python version). - Fedora Policy is that we don't ship software with known (major?) security issues. (Also you should not presume that shipping gstreamer 0.10 in Fedora is a given, see Dominik's answer and Miro's attempt to clarify the security policy.)
