An appropriate time presumably means when there is no more significant
demand for mainline kernel support on older distros like RHEL 7 and clones
that are still using python2. I also presume you plan to post the proposed
revert to the appropriate mailing lists before committing it, giving time for
anyone who wants to keep python2 compatibility a chance to make their
case.
