Trunk repos and, unless it's explicitely changed in future, RDO's policy
is not to support deployments in Fedora using python2 nor python3. The main
goal of this effort is to make transition to python3 smoother in future
CentOS releases and using fedora as a testbed for it.

The services enabled for python3  during rocky will depend on the progress
of the different tasks and i guess we will adapt the order of the services
depending on the technical issues we find.
