The big problem is that python2 has bitrotted on openSUSE (and actually
every modern distribution) to the extent that it can't build mythtv
anymore, so the only viable way forward is to move to python3. The
tradoff other distros (like Debian Multimedia) have made to make this
happen is to drop MythNetvision, which no-one seems to be able to get
built with python 3 thanks to its reliance on obsolete packages that
weren't forward ported.
