Er, can you elaborate on this desire to get python out? I'm kind of
confused. Particularly about why grubby is such a concern. If you
don't have python, you don't have yum/dnf which means updating your
kernel in your cloud image at _runtime_ is a PITA. If you aren't
Well, see above — tdnf is python-free dnf (from which you could
bootstrap to the full one).
updating your kernels at runtime and are instead relying on the
whole
image to be respun (ala Atomic or otherwise) then you don't need
grubby anyway and it doesn't matter what language it's written in.
And maybe that's the best path.
This really kind of baffles me. I would love to hear the reasoning
behind it.
I think because it's one of the biggest and most complex things in
minimal.
