I really wonder why this is necessary. Given the fact that there are enterprise distros maintaining Python 2 for a much longer time there will be backport patches available for upcoming security issues. And I'm willing to take care of that.
You are free to keep your own project on OBS with packages you want to support (or use Leap), but Factory is for “the newest stable software” and “bleeding edge software”, not the museum of computer archeology.
So this is simply your personal ego-trip not to care about what others need.
Users want supported, secure, maintained software
That does not include Python 2 after the day upstream formally, absolutely, and unquestionably abandon it.
As said. There are various installation for which back-port patches will be available, including SLE. While migrating to Python 3 is of course necessary I see no reason to fighting a crusade against people who still have to maintain Python 2 after that date. And as said: I'm willing to do work.
