This sounds a bit odd. What do you mean by 'renamed', exactly? It's not
as if you can just have python3-net-snmp provide and obsolete python2-
net-snmp ; any dependency which actually needs the python2 one is not
going to keep working with this change.

Do you just mean the python2-net-snmp package will go away and anything
using it has to migrate to python3-net-snmp? If so, have you actually
looked at the things that use it and considered how difficult it will
be to migrate them?

I see, for instance, '389-ds-base-owner' CCed on this mail; if 389-ds-
base depends on python2-net-snmp it is not at all going to be
acceptable to just throw it away without regards to whether 389-ds-base 
can reasonably migrate to python3 right now. That is a core component
of one of our release-blocking deliverables, Fedora Server.
