I would start discarding all workarounds in packages like

%if 0%{?rhel}
# do just python2
%endif

and harmonize EPEL-7 with Fedora. Then we can see how much true 
maintenance in EPEL7 we have (plenty of packages actually do use 
the unified spec for all distros).

Of course, packages like python-setuptools should go first.
