@eschwartz I highly doubt these distros will remain recalcitrant forever. webengine is going to be used in more and more software over time, if they refuse to package it they will find themselves reduced to even greater obscurity. And as far as I can tell their issue with webengine is not that they dislike the license but that they have not verified the licensing, seems like they just need to do the work for that.

So while a nice thought, I wouldn't worry too much about it. python2 is going to be maintained for some years yet, so they can freeze on 3.47.1 if they feel the need to.
