Retire python26
Summary
The 
python26
Owner
- Name: Miro Hrončok
- Email: mhroncok@redhat.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 33
- Last updated: 2020-01-27
- Tracker bug: #1795315
- Release notes tracker: #440
Detailed Description
The
The EPEL 6 End of Life is planned for 2020-11. This roughly corresponds with the Fedora 33 release date. Hence, we decided to retire (completely remove)
Benefit to Fedora
The maintenance of Python 2.6 was getting harder and harder every year. The support for Python 2.6 has disappeared from virtualenv, tox.
There is no direct benefit here, except that we don't want to maintain it anymore and we don't think it's a good idea either.
Consider this change proposal a louder orphaning, except that we will continue to maintain the package in older released and supported Fedoras (31 and 32). If you wish to continue maintaining Python 2.6 in Fedora, please speak to us first.
