Well at the same time SUSE is working to have tumbleweed in a ready
state to branch it for the next SLE release and the best way to be sure
that tumbleweed is functioning well without python2 for the next SLE
release is to no longer have python2 in the distro. We really don't want
to be maintaining it for another 10 years after that release.

Given that python2 really shouldn't change much from now into the future
one would think the QA feedback we would get from TW users about any
python updates would be rather limited.
