That seems like a good idea. What about bugzilla? Will it follow the renaming?
That means that we need to know the python version (not difficult I admit) to 
know the component where to submit the bug report.

What about the upgrade path? Will it be preserved.
Case: assume that I install python39 for F33. Then in F35 will it upgrade all 
the python39* to python310*? Or will the python39 remain installed?


There is some work to be done here although IMHO I agree that it is worth. :-)
