Blocker Is it possible to remove python from EAP 81 Images? I am not aware of python needed for any image functionality. It makes images (builder and runtime) bigger about 30 MB. And makes OpenShift images sensitive for CVEs in python.
python is located in /usr/lib64/python3.6/

Seems python is dependency of java and maven rpm packages.

I woulnd't expect that. Can someone check if that is necessary.
Python libraries are already present in ubi8 images, but what is different with ubi9 is there is also callable python command available.
