> I'm working on a patch to remove the major version of sys.platform

As expected by Marc-Andre: we need this information and so it has to be 
available somewhere else. I created #12794 to add platform.major(). I prefer to 
get the major version at runtime, not the major version used to build Python. I 
need the major version for Python tests: the tests checks features of the 
running system (kernel), not of the system used to build Python.

@Marc-Andre Lemburg: If you still think that we need all information about the 
system used to build Python, please open another issue (or comment maybe 
#12794).
