+1 to deprecating it
Great!
-1 to stop shipping the devel package, this would mean we cannot build at least:
- Python 2.7
despite our long term efforts, many things still need that, e.g. gimp,
firefox (some builds do, then some don't), thunderbird etc., see
https://fedora.portingdb.xyz/
Or Python 3.6 (shipped for developers targeting RHEL 7/8).
As long as OpenSSL 1.1 gets security fixes in RHEL 8, could we please leave the
devel package?
I'm not sure that if we don't remove the devel package, we will provide strong enough motivation to get rid of the deprecating packages.
