Hello,
python-pytest is blocking 18 packages from removal, most of them would
be leaves once python-pytest is gone.

so i was playing with the idea of tackling python-pytest removal by
updating all its rdeps and not run unittests for the python2 binary
(so dropping pytest and the other b-d* only used for tests).

I know it's suboptimal (some python2 packages can still see updates
until we're ready to drop them and running tests can still have
value), but i think the cost/benefit ratio points towards removing
python-pytest soon rather than wait.

There are only 25 packages that would need updating, and most of them
are in DPMT/PAPT.

What do people think?

Cheers,
--
