In practice that is probably not very useful anymore since more and more packages require python-3 (meson, future icu, ...). So I don't really mind (and I suspect that some people from our python team will be secretly glad about it). As for python-3 versions, python-3.4 is our "oldest", so no problem.

We already depend on python 3.5 for other reasons and build our own python3 during cross compile, this change essentially is therefore fine for us, only difference is that now we have to build python3-native before glibc which might add a bit to build time due to serialization. > > Andreas, > > Any further input from SUSE?
