> 2.X would still be included as an optional package, correct?
I wouldn't bet on a RedHat provided 2.7 package. if they provide it, they will be stuck maintaining it, and their long term support contracts are very long term.
On the python side - From 2020-01-01 no commits will land on the 2.7 branch. RH is still supporting RHEL 4, which was released in 2005, and supported 3 from 2003 -> 2014, which (if they keep a similar timescale for RHEL 8) could cause them to try and maintain a working build / test / development system for py27 for an extra 10 years.
