this is becoming less of an edge-case and more the current situation
of several "core" python modules: drop python2 support (eventually
maintaining a LTS-like old release around for py2) in favor of a pure
python3 codebase. Latest example is matplotlib 3.0 released yday which
dropped python2 support (maintained only in the 2.x branch, which will
receive only critical fixes), and numpy will release soon a py3k-only
version.
What did the team decide on this front? duplicating packages is not
always feasible (both from an archive and from a maintainership
perspective)
