I'd like to keep the around a little bit longer. We have alot of other stuff that is dead or eol for much longer. Also: 1. removing the dependencies on system python2 are a lot more important because old ptxdist versions are often used for a long time. So if removing Python2 is your goal, then you should start there. 2. You need to move all python2 packages to staging as well and add dependencies to all suboptions. There must be no dependency conflicts when STAGING is disabled.
