Comment 17 for bug 2002043

Reviewing this as part of the Sponsor process, but with my SRU Team hat on.

The only releases python2.7 is present in which are still eligible for SRUs are focal, jammy, and kinetic.

All of these releases post-date the demotion of python2.7 to universe.

No one should be deploying new code on python2.7 in Ubuntu 20.04 or later.

For the cflags to have been this way for years without anyone noticing, I do not think 'high' is a correct bug importance.

We would not rebuild the python extensions in the archive to correct the CFLAGS they were already built with when released.

For the uncommon case of a user building their extensions, the obvious workaround is to set any important flags directly instead of relying on them being inherited from python2.7.

I would not accept this as an SRU in Ubuntu. Therefore I do not think anyone should proceed with sponsorship. Unsubscribing the sponsors team and marking wontfix.
