Hello,
this is just your periodic remainder (which could be expected for the last 10+ years or so, so there shouldn't be any surprise) that on the bright fresh chilly morning of 2020-01-02 we are going to remove python2 package (that's Python 2.7.* interpreter) from Factory.
I'm not sure if you cna word it this drastic - you can set it as a GOAL to remove python2 from Factory. Even a target date is a nice to have. And a lot of effort has already happened.
But, as a release manager I claim to have a say in this topic too: Dropping py2 is a noble goal, it is a high target. But if this means losing things like firefox, osc, "insertfavoriteapphere" - then you all can be sure that we will weigh the pros and cons of keeping/dropping py2. In plus, with a capable maintainer who is willing to further work on possibly reported CVEs: how can we claim it is not maintained?!
At least on the subject of osc, the PRs to fix it for Python 3 have stalled out. Nobody with write access is reviewing any of them. At least in Fedora, due to the pressure of getting the dep chains for Python 2 reduced[1], I imported the patches and switched osc to Python 3 in Fedora 30[2]. It works great. Too bad the upstream project maintainer seems to not have time for the project...
