I would like to start dropping Python 2 as early as possible though. The
only question that remains is: how many people still have Python 2 only
code using clients.
/me
And because:
OS clients are already packaged for Py2 now
upstreams official supports Py2 now (and probably will support in OS release targeted for Buster)
Python 2 will be in Buster
I didn't see any real benefits dropping them before Buster release. Let's drop them just after Buster release.
