Yeah, I agree we should have it, although for use in RPMs, I'd suggest discouraging it and instead promote usage of /usr/bin/pythonXY. > - I want to be able to build my EPEL python3X packages out of my existing > python dist-git packages' epel7 branch. Ok, it's not my preference, I'd rather use the third option outlined in the original proposal (e.g. have separate repos for EPEL python3 packages) because of some of the downsides I see when using epel-7 branches in standard python dist-git repos. But then again, that's just my preference and if more people voice the same opinion as you, I'm fine doing it your way.
