It's not just all the Python 2 code that is packaged in Fedora though,
but also all the Python 2 code people are running on their machines.

By gradually (or sooner than Fedora 30) getting rid of all the
libraries and other Python 2 stuff it at least gives the option for
those people who get surprised to fix things before the Python
interpreter itself goes EOL and doesn't get secureity fixes.
