    Python 2.7.17 has a security advisory:

    Please update to Python 2.7.18.  This appears to resolve the exposure.  It also appears to be the last planned release in the 2.7.xx series.

    I hope the team is also looking at yum, and what we need to do to get off the dependency of having Python 2.x installed.

    Yes, we are moving to dnf which is python3 based.
