Thank you, that's much more clear. So RHEL is deprecating their python2 package i.e. declaring their intent to eventually remove it. For some reason "replaces X with Y" suggests to me that they swapped one for the other (e.g. /usr/bin/python) which seems error-prone.

RHEL's system tools like yum use python2 today, but in the next release will rely on python3.
