Yeah, we'll probably have to upgrade to Py3 compatibility eventually, but we've got lots of other stuff on our plate for now.

Yeah I totally get it, that's why I suggested for people to initiate a conversation about it in their own teams. 2020 is not that far. Python 2.7 is battle tested but having no support or security fixes can be an issue if you have customer facing apps.

Realistically, though, adding a custom Python version that's not part of the baseline RHEL distro would add overhead and hassle to our workflow and requirements right now

I agree with the hassle :-)
