So in perl we do it the other way around -- the generators were always present but then were made opt-in (via Buildrequires: perl-generators) to make the minimal shared buildroot smaller.

Besides making the distro a bit more inconsistent, does this also add packages to the minimal buildroot?

In python world it was always pythonX-devel. And I would like to not try to change anything big as part of this change.

No. Everything needed is already present in python3-devel, so if you depend on it, you get automated dependencies.

After this change is implemented, you will get not only automated python(abi) = 3.7, but also bunch of other python3.7dist(foobar).

That said, it doesn't change buildroot at all.

Ack, thanks. +1 then.

I count seven +1s so I'm going to close this.

Actually let's keep this open for the announcement but consider this approved.
