When dealing with python-nose removals I noticed the python-pytest7 package sues nose in tests. Those tests could be easily skipped, but I wonder if it isn't time to get rid of pytest7 (and pluggy1.3).
How about making this part of the python-nose retirement change proposal? At some point, pytest offered some functionality to run nose tests [1]. Obviously, projects still relying on nose should long have migrated to pytest proper and are probably no longer being looked after themselves.
With Fedora having migrated to pytest 8 [2], which no longer supports running nose tests, it kind of makes sense to drop both packages simultaneously.
