Its not "out of thin air". It was discussed over two years ago when we
started a plan of trying to remove python2 dependencies:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=1fc2c9315faf65ea05fecf81450dd40b9a330435

This was in line with what upstream python recommended. Upstream python
has made a clear statement on this too:

https://python3statement.org/

For a release that will ship 3 months before that deadline, it seems
unreasonable to add this back to oe-core, no?

Cheers,

Richard
