FESCo doesn't just deny requests to keep python2 packages willy-nilly:
- 20 requests were accepted
- 4 were closed because the port to python3 happened in the meantime
- 1 was closed because maintainers assume that a port will happen before F32
- 1 was rejected because maintainers couldn't provide a list of packages that 
need the exception
- 1 was rejected because there was no hope for a python3 port because of lack 
of development.

Also note that there is a blanket approval for using just python2 at
build time.
