GIMP still uses our Python 2 support/packages, here is the last status 2022-09-23 #gimp@gimpnet:
19:02 <Jehan> lazka: as schumaml said, yes for the GIMP 2 package.
19:03 <Jehan> lazka: I am very hopeful that we can release GIMP 3 in 2023, and possibly not even the end of the year, though don't take my word as a promise!
19:04 <Jehan> lazka: so if you could hold onto Python 2 just a tiny bit, it would be wonderful.
This is just a tracking issue.
