I see that the ansible SRPM in rawhide has already discarded any
support for python2, so that cannot be easily backported to RHEL 7
with continuing use of python2. Our friends doing EPEL support will
have to either do considerable work to continue python2 support, say
with "pyp2rpm", or cooperate with the switch to python3.
The epel7 ansible (classic/2.9) builds both python2 and python2
versions, you can use whatever one you prefer. The epel7 branch has just
diverged from rawhide. It's also as up to date as rawhide is version
wise.
I guess I don't understand what your concern is here... if we required
rawhide to build for all targets, why do we have branches at all?
To me it's a balancing act... some level of conditional is worth it to
allow rawhide's spec to work on other branches, but when it reaches a
level where it's confusing, it's better to break the relationship and
let branches diverge to handle their branch/target only.
