We would like ro rename the "python3" component (SRPM) to

The change should only affect packagers of Python itself; not users or
packagers of software written in Python.
The only user-visible or general-packager-visible change is a different
component (SRPM) name.
That seems like a good idea. What about bugzilla? Will it follow the renaming?
That means that we need to know the python version (not difficult I admit) to
know the component where to submit the bug report.
What about the upgrade path? Will it be preserved.
Case: assume that I install python39 for F33. Then in F35 will it upgrade all
the python39* to python310*? Or will the python39 remain installed?
There is some work to be done here although IMHO I agree that it is worth. :-)
