One thing we (I work for Red Hat) managed to do better this time is that there is actually alive EPEL-7 from the start (we have started to develop it with RHEL-7 Beta).

Concerning python. My machine says

matej@wycliff: ~$ rpm -q python
python-2.7.5-16.el7.x86_64
matej@wycliff: ~$

And yes, I believe that the main culprit for non-python-3 is anaconda and other essential Python programs on which whole distro stays. We don't have python3 anaconda AFAIK.

Because this also requires to port all the needed library, and make sure they all work fine. That's doable, but take a rather long time,since once you ported, you need to maintain the version 2 and the version 3 for a time. Which mean more ressources for testing, etc, etc.
