What about postponing this change to F32? I'd prefer python2 to be retired and gone from the distro first, and the symlink and %python_provide definition only switched then. I think that having this middle state where python2 is available but python points to python3 for exactly one release will be more confusing that switching directly to the final state where python2 is gone and python simply means python3.
I think it makes sense to make the switch before we retire, because then people's expectations are changed ahead of time and they can adapt to The Future(TM).
Actually I think it makes more sense that F31 provides no /usr/bin/python. Then a lot of things which depend on it can be found and fixed since they have not adapted to the Future any other way.
