enough motivation to get rid of the deprecating packages.
imho removing the devel packages is basically the same as removing openssl1.1
entirely. To me the idea of "deprecation" is to warn users that something is
going away WITHOUT removing functionality immediately.
And yes, Python 2.7 might be a pain point for packagers but fact is that
important packages still rely on it. Removing openssl just shifts the burden to
(many more) packagers who just need Python 2.7 for their packages.
Are these Python 2.7 dependencies only used at build time? In that case Fedora
could maybe announce that openssl1.1 might not get the full security suport so
the burden for openssl1.1 packagers is lower without removing the functionality?
