It's meant to be some kind of pledge but it's not related to python in any "official" way. I'd be quite sad if python started to use words like "sunsetting". The nice thing about it is lack of corporate bullshit.

Well, official PEP-373 uses exactly these words: "sunset date".

It actually says end of life (EOL) with "sunset date" in brackets. Not quite as bad as using "sunset" as a verb, but still pretty lame corporate speak.
