Being the last of the 2.x series, 2.7 will have an extended period of maintenance. Specifically, 2.7 will receive bugfix support until January 1, 2020. After the last release, 2.7 will receive no support.
It's no secret that Python 2 is reaching its end of life.
What do we do from then on? Should we just document which version was the last to support Python 2 + 3 and then do a (possibly incremental) cleanup of the code and only support Python 3 from then on? We could do that in a major version bump (like maybe 4.0).
I would vote for exactly that. Do we all agree on that?
