In truth i searched for something like 'keep python version in sync
before release' in the tickets and didn't find one.
I searched python3 in the BLFS repo and find that it is only for an
optional dependency of fetchmail for running fetchmailconf.
IMHO, ff we replace this optional dependency with some text
explanation, we can remove python3 from BLFS and things will be more
clear.
