Yes we can.  There are many popular programs not packaged in Debian
because they do not meet our standards.
 
So what is the plan for Debian? I have seen some discussions on Debian-devel about the subject, but I saw no clear stop for non-python3 packages (at least not yet).

Should we definitly stop importing Python2 only packages in Debian, considering that most of python packages are still v2 only? (mainly due to dependencies themselves in v2 only) ?

Ben, I kept you CC'ed in the mail, but please tell me if you prefer that discussion continues on debian-devel/bug only.

Olivier

Ben.
