Yup. This was anticipated. What's the alternative? We never drop

the case that, when Fedora stops caring about something, it's a thing
that absolutely nobody and nothing wants". There has to be a cut-off.
There's probably *someone* out there who still has a Python 1
interpreter installed. And libc 5. On a 386SX. Should Fedora still work
on it?
In my opinion, this should be supported, even if stuck at the last version
packaged, until that version no longer works. If nobody wants to put in the
work to make the package work at that point, THEN is the time to drop it, in
my opinion.
