The strategy, plan and execution for deprecation of Python 2.7 and the guidelines for deprecation and removal of Python 2.7 ports was not coordinated with, discussed with or executed by the Python team, as it should have been. The issues associated with this as well as the impact it has had on the team, maintainers and and users has already been reported to core as one set of example symptoms that form part of a broader report. Python is more than happy to address the issues associated with that plan. I encourage and welcome interested developers, users, maintainers who want to participate in improve the situation to join #freebsd-python on freenode. -- koobs @Python
