Does this deprecation of python2 mean requests for package review with python2 only are now invalid?
Yes. You can always get a FPC exception from (any) guideline or a FPC exemption from the review process, or a FESCo approved Change proposal, or cheat, but following the normal way of things, new packages that use python2 are not to be approved.
It's going to create some difficulties with porting leading edge python modules back to RHEL 7 or CentOS 7. The flexibility to enable python2 compilation, only, has been useful for me several times.
Feel free to compile Python 2 stuff for you own testing on Fedora. Just don't put it in the repos. Use Python 3 in Fedora.
There's Python 3 in EPEL as well. I encourage you to use that.
If you'd like to have Python 3 in RHEL proper, use appropriate channels to request it, however there are already possibilities, see for example https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/08/13/install-python3-rhel/
(And I cannot answer you question.)
