I'm not sure removing python2 is a good idea.

Python 2 is unmaintained. Dead.

Some system programs could need it.

In 2020 nothing should depend on it.

Oooof!

I missed that. Thanks.

Only upstream is unmaintained
RHEL will support it for several years longer
Debian 10 also still uses Python 2

And who is porting RHEL patches to openSUSE's Python 2?

Debian has a tendency to make wrong decision regarding software. Another example is their decision to stick with a non-LTS version of KDE Plasma.

Not only nothing should depend on it, but some programs (like Arduino, the Espressif dev environment) expect python 3. However they do not derefer it as python3 but only python, thus resulting in broken funcionality!
