RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Hi,
please remove the `Recommends: python3` tag from `fwupd`. It's pulling in the user-facing python3 package into the default RHEL8 installation, which shouldn't be happening.
`fwupd` is part of the default RHEL8 installation ("Server with GUI"), and when it is installed by anaconda, this Recommends tag is respected, and the `python3` package is installed as well.
This is a problem, because it's been decided, that the user facing python3 package should not be installed by default. [0][1] System tools use a different package (platform-python), and thus we don't want to install the user-facing python3 unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Hi Richard,
what do you think about this bug? From the user point of view, this is a big issue, so we'd love to get it fixed sooner rather than later.
Thank you for your time!
