I fail to understand the correlation between sphinx 2.0 and dropping

Sphinx 2.0 does not support Python 2.
We could make it so that we only update Sphinx on python 3, but leave the old
version on Python 2, however that kicking a dead horse, so we decided to drop
python2-sphinx at once.
We already have python3-sphinx in f29, so python2-sphinx could be
dropped in f30, and this change could simply be about a major sphinx
update.
python2-sphinx could be dropped in f30, however there is still a great amount of
dependent packages, this requires coordination and hence we decided to do it as
a change for Fedora 31, considered it too late for Fedora 30.

F31 System-Wide Change proposal: Update Sphinx to version 2 and drop Python 2 support from Sphinx
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sphinx2
== Summary ==
The version 2.0.x of [https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ Sphinx], popular
Python documentation generator and framework, is expected to be
[https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/5950 released in early
2019]. It
[https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#incompatible-changes
drops support for Python 2]. As part of

{{package|python2-sphinx}} and related packages from
[[Releases/31|Fedora 31]] and further.
Package maintainers using Sphinx on Python 2 have three options:
* they stop using Python 2 entirely (preferred), dropping their
python2 subpackages if not dependent upon by other packages,
* they switch to Sphinx on Python 3 for building their documentation,
* they stop building documentation.
Packages that use Sphinx on Python 2 at runtime are Sphinx extensions,
themes etc. and will be removed together with
{{package|python2-sphinx}}.

== Detailed Description ==
See live (or several days old) information of Python dependents of
{{package|python2-sphinx}} at the
[https://fedora.portingdb.xyz/pkg/python-sphinx/ Python 2 Dropping

We will remove the following (sub)packages:

The following (source) packages currently (2019-02-06) BuildRequire
any of the above and will need to be modified to stop BuildRequiring
them:
(See wiki page for a full listing)
As said in the summary, packages will either switch to Python 3 Sphinx
or stop building the docs.
Change owners can provide guidance and help, yet they cannot be
expected to fix all the packages.
The following tools will be switched to Python 3:
* /usr/bin/sphinx-apidoc
* /usr/bin/sphinx-autogen
* /usr/bin/sphinx-build
* /usr/bin/sphinx-quickstart
Their -3 and -3.X suffixed counterparts will
be kept as symbolic links for backwards compatibility.
Explicit conflicts with old {{package|python2-sphinx}} will be added
and {{package|python2-sphinx}} will be obsoleted via
{{package|fedora-obsolete-packages}}.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora is the leading environment for Python development and will
include the newest and greatest Sphinx for users and packagers.
The removal of Python 2 Sphinx will help in getting rid of a
significant amount of Python 2 usage, as Fedora's long term plan is to
get rid of this legacy interpreter. Python 2 is deprecated in Fedora
and its upstream support ends on 2020-01-01, very early in the Fedora
31 life time.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: remove above-mentioned packages as soon as
possible, update {{package|python-sphinx}} to 2.0.0 or newer, provide
guidance and help.
* Other developers: stop using {{package|python2-sphinx}} (list of
affected packages in the description)

Release Engineering impact is anticipated)
** List of deliverables: empty
* Policies and guidelines: none
* Trademark approval: not needed for this Change
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
The new {{package|python3-sphinx}} package will have to conflict with
the old {{package|python2-sphinx}} package because the unversioned
executables will be moved from {{package|python2-sphinx}} to
{{package|python3-sphinx}}. Proper obsoletes will be added to ensure a
clean upgrade path.
Fedora users using RPM-packaged Sphinx will use Sphinx on Python 3 by
default, as many would expect.
Fedora users still needing to use Sphinx running on Python 2 will use
Python virtual environment and pip.
== How To Test ==
TBD
== User Experience ==
Already covered by sections above.
== Dependencies ==
Described by the sections above.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: If absolutely needed, the change owners will
add compatibility {{package|python2-sphinx}} package with Sphinx 1.8.x
but they are not willing to maintain it, so they plan to orphan it
soon after Fedora 31 is released.
* Contingency deadline: any time before release
* Blocks release? No
* Blocks product? No

F31 System-Wide Change proposal: Update Sphinx to version 2 and drop Python 2 support from Sphinx

== Detailed Description ==
See live (or several days old) information of Python dependents of
{{package|python2-sphinx}} at the

We will remove the following (sub)packages:

Change owners can provide guidance and help, yet they cannot be

The following tools will be switched to Python 3:
* /usr/bin/sphinx-apidoc

* /usr/bin/sphinx-build
* /usr/bin/sphinx-quickstart
Their -3 and -3.X suffixed counterparts will
be kept as symbolic links for backwards compatibility.
Explicit conflicts with old {{package|python2-sphinx}} will be added
and {{package|python2-sphinx}} will be obsoleted via
{{package|fedora-obsolete-packages}}.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora is the leading environment for Python development and will
include the newest and greatest Sphinx for users and packagers.
The removal of Python 2 Sphinx will help in getting rid of a
significant amount of Python 2 usage, as Fedora's long term plan is to
get rid of this legacy interpreter. Python 2 is deprecated in Fedora
and its upstream support ends on 2020-01-01, very early in the Fedora
31 life time.
