"Python 2 has been deprecated Python 2 will be replaced with Python 3 in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) major release."

So, deprecated in RHEL 7.5 as a fair warning to everybody and replaced with Python 3 in RHEL 8.

You'd know this if you had actually read the linked release notes you mention. ;)

Ah. Still weird to say that "Python 2" is deprecated as of RHEL 7.5 when both the installation frontend and yum use Python 2.7.5, and Python 3 isn't even on the installation media.

(Grabbed the ISO and made sure the above assertions are true.)
