Okay -- deciding on that date will likely also need to coordinate with
releng, fedpkg maintainers (dgilmore who is also releng), and the mock
maintainers.  There may be other projects I'm not thinking of (yum-utils and
createrepo are going to be ported to DNF-python3 by the packaging team
already?  )  I'm concerned about the tools used to build fedora and the
tools used by package maintainers and testers to create packages.

Oh also -- I've been assuming that the DNF python2 bindings will be
compatible with the yum API.  Is that the case?
