It says
| the following projects have pledged to drop support for Python 2.7
| no later than 2020, coinciding with the Python development team's
| timeline for dropping support for Python 2.7.
which is rather ambiguous.
If we do interpret it to mean 2020-01-01, I doubt there is any
realistic chance of us making that, even if we decide we want to.
