Because it's not in fact trivial. It's *doable*; Peter Donis and I are
the expers on how to do it. But it's not trivial. It proliferates
code and test paths, and therefore increases attack surface.
Therefore we should drop Python 2 support as soon as the benefit of
keeping it drops below the cost. I think that happens the moment
python3 becomes a reliable thing to put in shebangs on all our
primary platforms.
There's a strong case this has already occurred, and that case will
be closed when RHEL 6 goes EOL.
