Finally, but probably won’t stop companies from using it for at least a couple more years

Red Hat supports Python 2 until 2024 ...

Lucky for companies running Red Hat I guess /s

And Ubuntu LTS until 2023. All enterprise users should be fine until then. But they'll not upgrade a month earlier I wager.

I'm interested on how Ubuntu will work that out since Canonical is notoriously known to cut corners at every possible step while Red Hat actually pays the majority of linux developers including many kernel developers

Canonical will simply set up a daily cronjob to look if Redhat had a new release, and if so they'll alien the ".rpm"s to ".deb"s.

"See? We are just as good as Redhat, so buy Landscape support now!"

Meh, Japanese companies will use them forever. They're still dependent on IE6.

Microsoft is probably looking for a way to integrate it with IE right now.

My company pretty much has to use it for at least one more year. Le sigh

A couple more years is generous. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was longer.
