We could do that. The only downsides I can really think of is it's
surprising to have different versions of the same library on Python 2 vs
Python 3, but since this is in our own repository I don't think that's a
big deal.
Yeah, I think some people are already doing it, but I could see how it
might be confusing...
Also, the number of people using python3 on epel is I suspect very low.

Definitely, although fortunately pyOpenSSL is in maintenance mode and
should be reasonably quiet. I'm a maintainer on the Fedora pyOpenSSL
and cryptography, so as long as a couple more people keep an eye on
them we should be set.
Cool.
