It is probably more that RHEL8 moved to python3 than anything else. 

Now that RHEL7 updates have python3 it seems resonable to use that
there as well.  In the past you had to get it from EPEL.

In the long term the reason why we moved to the 'verified package
lists' is to avoid this kind of inconsistency (instead, we suggest too
many packages, because development != production...).
