It's probably not going to cause problems, but it's not like we haven't had
issues in previous cycles. The concern is really we don't currently have an
ETA when RDO will be fully up on CentOS8. So it could be weeks or months.
We're hoping for sooner rather than later but once py2 support is
officially dropped, who knows what folks might want to try and start
working on.

puppet no, tripleo maybe. It's already a container in tripleo and we do
have a rhel8 container but the issue is reallly packaging for both.
