What about stubbing out all networking in Python 2.7? I believe
that the only users of Python 2.7 in Fedora are various build
scripts, and those are all entirely offline. If so, nothing would
break if the ssl module was replaced by a stub module that threw an
exception when any of its functions was called. Using an EOL
version of Python in a network-facing program is a bad idea anyway.
This sounds like one of the better ideas to come out of this thread,
and should be done regardless of the other stuff.
