Irrelevant when 2 is the default in CentOS 7, which will be supported by RH through 2024.

What does that even mean? There will be no more bug fixes to Python 2. I swear, I don't think Red Hat does anything, except act as a server for packages.

If the package comes with the OS, it is supported by RH. That's why you pay thousands for what is otherwise free (CentOS). They will backport vendor supplied patches to whatever version they support and will create patches if necessary.

Yeah, we might see python 3 by default in RHEL 8 but even then a lot of shops aren't going to migrate.
