  == Python Version Support

  

- In Fedora we have multiple Python runtimes, one for each supported major Python release. At this point that's one for python3.x and one for python2.7 However the python2 stack will be removed from Fedora and is xref:deprecating-packages.adoc[deprecated]. Upstream support for the python2 interpreter officially ends in 2020. If a piece of software supports python3, it MUST be packaged for python3. Software using python2 MUST NOT be newly packaged without FESCo exception.

Also changed the paragraph to sembreaks.

This is not really a change, bu rather a clarification, so I've opened no ticket. I suppose any other FPC member can just review this and merge.
