Oe-core is very close (u-boot is the last holdout as noted), but I am not sure that we can simply take out py2, and not have half of meta-oe fail. For instance (random example) mozjs, a fairly important component, still pulls it in, together with a few 3rd party libraries: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-extended/mozjs/mozjs_60.5.2.bb

You want meta-oe to have a LAYERDEPENDS on a new python2 layer that is
not in meta-openembedded?
