Do we plan to reduce/drop support for python2.7 if we get it out of the
iso? Or what's the direct result out of those efforts out of sending a
message and winning some CD space?

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see the world moving to python3 but
if that's not going to be done this cycle and we need to support python2
as much it feels like we are making user experience tradeoff for
benefits which might not be worth it...

Cheers,
