So following up from what grazollini and Eli have said, I guess we can keep it for vim, maybe focus more on optdepends and actual makedepends for I've found a lot of gnome packages having a python2 makedepends which can be removed or moved to python 3. Felix brought up a more radical approach of removing check() for python2 modules which would allow a lot of python2 modules to be removed. This is also blocking him from updating packages since he needs to bring new python2 modules in to update some python/python2 modules iirc. Felix, can you enlighten us? I don't want you to be blocked from keeping Arch rolling =) Greetings, Jelle van der Waa
