Will there never be a python4 or python5? Will we just leave that problem to repeat itself in 2028? when we have to do another complete rename because python3 is EOL? [I am also of the opinion that the history of computer language changes has proven that even after a language is EOL it is still used in too large of a base for many many many years after people say it should be gone. I am expecting that no matter how much we want py3->py we will find in 2028 that some major bleeding edge user still relies on python2. ] -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
