So long as Python2 remains installable, I don't see why you feel the need to
rip it out of the distro.
Because the maintainers of the Python 2 packages don't want to maintain them
past Python 2 EOL. That includes me.
This is not the first time I'm answering this question to you. You seem to ask
it again and again. May I suggest you write the answer down and look it up next
time you have the tendency to ask again? That should prevent us to do this over
