Soime (very) broad discussion but no testing or development that I am
aware of. Python2 is likely to have quite a long life time in Fedora
as there are still quite a few py2-only system components (we've had 3
since F13 but /bin/python is still 2).

I'd be interested in scoping work to understand how much stuff breaks
but I think our priorities are more aimed at getting the module
cleanup and data layout/API changes done at the moment. Moving to py3
should also be easier once that's done as we won't have to cope with
rebasing module stuff over a core migration to 3.

Regards,
Bryn.
