		`+ === FreeIPA Python 2 removal`
		`+`
		`+ FreeIPA client and server packages have been using Python 3 by default since Fedora 27, but Python 2 packages have been provided until Fedora 29.`
		+ These packages are not used by FreeIPA, but they were provided for backwards compatibility, e.g. for Python 2 applications that used `python2-ipaclient` to communicate with an IPA server.
		`+`
		`+ Python 2 is being deprecated in Fedora 30 as documented in the xref:developers/Development_Python.adoc#python2-deprecated[Python] section, and support is also being dropped from the upstream project in upcoming version 4.8.0.`
		+ Continuing support for Python 2 is causing needless development and testing overhead and blocking improvements such as using the new Python-based `389-ds` installer, use of Python 3 features, and so on.
		`+ Therefore, the following packages are no longer available in Fedora 30:`
		`+`
		+ * `python2-ipalib`
		+ * `python2-ipaclient`
		+ * `python2-ipaserver`
		+ * `python2-ipatests`
		+ * `python2-ipa-desktop-profile-client` (dependency)
