Just a note of warning: don’t to be too over-eager with dropping
everything Python 2 related in EPEL-7. Its EOS is only sometime
after 2024

and the question whether the packages which can use both Python2
and Python3 as its dependency (e.g., youtube-dl) should switch
to Python3 or use the base RHEL-provided Python 2.7.

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto
non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry “I could have thought of

they didn’t, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.
