Hi, and thanks for pinging me on this.
I had originally wanted to hang onto ipykernel-py2 on the basis that it
didn't add much to the dependency tree not in any case blocked by
ipython [0] and is _probably_ useful for a certain amount of legacy
analysis code.
However, keeping support for python2 stuff around when it's blocking the
wider py2removal transition is not really a hill I want to die on. Given
that this bug has been filed, and I'm not actually now using the python2
version myself, I'm inclined to just let the RM happen.
Gordon
[0]: ipykernel -> jupyter-client -> jupyter-core -> pyzmq can be dropped
together, I think all other dependencies are blocked on at least
something else.
