The tangible changes for this are just that we're hoping to only have python3, not python2 on our default LiveCD and cloud images. This has been a bit hard since many of our core packaging tools (and the large number of release engineering, package-maintainer, distro installer, etc scripts built on top of them) were written in python2. The F22 release is hoping to have a set of C libraries for those tools with both python3 and python2 bindings. That will hopefully allow us to port the user-visible tools (installer and things present on the selected images) to python3 for F22 while leaving the release-engineering and packager-oriented scripts until a later Fedora release. -Toshio
