Subject: Re: including EOL and vulnerable software in Fedora
If no package is allowed to require the old Pythons (and IMHO,
"Recommends:"
is "require"), that also applies to tox. If tox is allowed to recommend the
old Pythons, that invalidates the claim that they will never be dragged in
as dependencies. What tox uses the old Pythons for does not change anything
to the contradiction.
Nevertheless, at the link that I posted before, you can see for yourself the exact use
case, so that should make things clear enough. Contradictory or not (as I said maybe the
original descriptions possibly need to be rephrased), arguing about that does not really
contribute anything to the discussion.
