The packages are already renamed or being renamed to python2*, and the plan is also to switch the Provides so that python3 will be the package Providing python, not python2. That should solve that issue without having to nuke python2. > Second, I think the earlier we start the better.

I am strongly opposed to removing working software that is still useful for users. There is certainly very useful niche software that has not been ported to Python 3 yet. I am all for kicking out Python 2 from things such as live images if it is still on them, for space reasons. But I think it needs to remain available in the repository.
