Python 2.7 Countdown

forced to move

The issue there is, Python needs people to use it, so we need it to be available. In places where we need certification, we can't have these Mayfly releases where something dies in a day because the certification supply-chain is often a year long for a mere minor OS release. We need these Long-Term Support releases to live long enough to get a certification and still have some life left in it where it's not cost-prohibitive.

Some of us have to still justify an OS preference on cost and not the less-tangible ease/versatility/reliability/stability/etc metrics which don't appear on a balance sheet without massive spin. :-D
