I can confirm (from local testing) that as far as oe-core is concerned,
u-boot is actually the last piece, and after it's been moved to use py3,
py2 can be removed entirely, including a link in HOSTTOOLS, and native and
target recipes.

The situation in other layers, particularly meta-oe is less than optimal
though. Any help is appreciated.
