I installed the latest batch of updates for F28 tonight. Since that included a new kernel (4.16.10-300.fc28), I rebooted. The system came up with the GDM panic screen [1]. I rebooted into the previous kernel thinking that something might be wrong with the new one. Same result. I rebooted again

I completely agree here. /usr/bin/python should go when python2 itself will be removed from Fedora. For me this change is just an unnecessary additional change which will probably annoy users. And if the solution to get /usr/bin/python back is to install that additional package: 95% (I guess) of us

I don't have any objection to moving `/usr/bin/python` into a separate package, but only if it's installed every time python2 is installed. I'm less concerned about breaking Fedora packages, because we have ways of checking and fixing those (do your package fail to build? Better fix it!) My concern
