I have been trying to get it fully properly implemented for over a year. It's
been very hard to actually get this done, and for the past few months, I
focused primarily on Leap 15.3 for other reasons.

There have been improvements to the generator upstream[1] to support setting
default/non-default Python versions so that these work correctly in a
multi-Python world. I'm planning on looking into this shortly.

Also note, I was one of the original developers on the generator, and it
originates from Mandriva, not Fedora. I approached *all* the major RPM distros
at the same time, only Fedora didn't shoot me down immediately. So your
characterization is not only wrong, it's personally insulting. Please refrain
from making assumptions as such.
