I'd be ok with removing python2 support in either 20.08 or deferring to 20.11. I don't think the patches would be different no matter what release it being targetted. :-) Is there a particular concern around removing python2 support? I thought all linux distros now have python3, and many are stopping installing python2 by default also.
