Using modules for this purpose will take some care for parallel installability - unless you are happy with sagemath only being runnable from within a container.

Unless I'm missing something, to restore a python2 subpackage that has been removed in the main Fedora, you'd need to:

 - Create a stream branch
 - Modify the spec file in that branch to *only* build the python2 subpackage
 - Include that stream branch in your module

Hmmmm, that might make sense, at that.  I have to admit now that I
haven't really been following the development of modules, and don't
really know how they work.  I'll try to read up on them next week.

Thanks for the suggestion.
