I assume the release team wants something which makes the next transitions as
easy as possible, doesn't confuse people, and of course repects the
policy (e.g. if a packages dependencies are fullfiled, it needs to be
useable), and has enough buy-in within the debian python community (so
that we don't face 5 different incompatible implementations). Whatever
that means ;)

But perhaps allow the other team members to disagree with me if
necessary.
