ITT we see myriad anecdotes and personal grudges & preferences presented as objective analysis and review.
TFA notes that RHEL hasn't really done much for the KDE community in quite a while, so this is a bit of a non-story in terms of on-going support for KDE proper (as distinct from KDE on RHEL).
TFA also notes it may just be The Register being The Register -- any article that suggests IBM bought RHEL to bury the RHEL drops KDE support story is clearly attempting humour.
Keep in mind that getting Python 3 running on RHEL7 is a non-trivial exercise, fraught with sharp edges and inspiring many vocalised expletives -- so RHEL officially (not) supporting something isn't necessarily an indicator of, well, anything.

- Jedd 8y agoRunning, not just installing. EPEL is straightforward, as you note (frustration aside that it's a bit of fiddling your average user shouldn't need to do). But the sharp edges pop up later - root installed pip packages not accessible by non root accounts, pip3 mess, challenges / breakages if you're also running various things that choke on python3 being present (puppet is one example).
