So RHEL is deprecating their python2 package i.e. declaring their intent to eventually remove it. For some reason "replaces X with Y" suggests to me that they swapped one for the other (e.g. /usr/bin/python) which seems error-prone.

There are things included in RHEL which use Python. These will now use Python3 instead of Python2, so from that perspective it has been replaced.

RHEL's system tools like yum use python2 today, but in the next release will rely on python3.
