The benefit here is for the distro itself.
I get that, but an internal benefit that ends up breaking users'
software is not beneficial to Fedora. Couldn't we accomplish the same
thing by doing a side build against a modified python2 package but not
propagate that out to the users? I understand that finding the
packages that will break helps us understand the impact of python2
removal, but that doesn't mean we have to expose it in the released
product.
