Also, let me join in here. 
OpenIndiana hipster and all other illumos distributions will suffer if you drop the "Solaris" support. Just to get an idea which packages in a nearly default install depend on python:
pkg uninstall: Unable to remove 'runtime/python-35 at 3.5.9-2020.0.1.1' due to the following packages that depend on it:

  system/install at 0.5.11-2020.0.1.1052
  system/network/avahi at 0.7-2020.0.1.3
  system/network/avahi/gui at 0.7-2020.0.1.3
  system/zones/brand/ipkg at 0.5.11-2020.0.1.5543
  text/texinfo at 6.7-2020.0.1.1
  web/server/apache-24/module/apache-wsgi-35 at 4.5.22-2020.0.1.5

Actually the package manager itself, installer, ZFS helpers, cups, the illumos build-system and and and all depend on python.
