Thanks for the feedback everyone. I didn't get a chance to follow up before vacation started, but will address some of these next week (TIL the Python case)
But answering Thorsten, in Fedora Rawhide this would not matter much, in stable releases this might get you a stable perf faster by a few weeks. And one thing that benefits Fedora as a whole - build requirements hygiene. Keep perf dependencies to perf and not have it accidentally be used by the kernel build itself. In CentOS/RHEL it would help even more, and would help avoid the version confusion since the EL kernel version string and everything built from the same SRPM is frozen forever more.... I've been told this needs to get buy in on the CentOS/RHEL side anyway so the packaging doesn't diverge, so I'll follow up on that side as well next week.
