I think a good place to start is by just filing bugs against packages that rely on Python 2, saying that they face removal once Python 2 is EOL. As Konrad pointed out though, not every package necessarily needs to support Python 3. I think there can probably be exceptions for packages that do not add much security risk or maintenance work. Red Hat will continue providing security fixes to Python 2 for several more years. PyPy will also continue to support Python 2 indefinitely, so packaging that and making it an option in python-build-system may be an option for some packages. -- Alex Griffin
