I still struggle to understand what packages require change and which do not. Is there one pager doc that explains a few things for me: - How packages are picked for masking? Maybe we can deprecate them instead? Or we (I) can write a bit of code that flags packages requiring maintainers' attention. - What is the expected end state for the "py2 cleanup"? The doc would also be a good link to add to recently added "# Py2 only" masks as well. > Flagging packages that support 2+3 because of their revdeps is not > helpful at all.

I agree it can be spammy if we expect to have many packages with python2 support for an extended period of time (3+ months). If it's seen by others as too noisy I can revert the commit now. > Flagging dev-python/pypy* which needs py2 but is entirely outside > the eclass system is not helpful at all. To pick a concrete example: from what I read above I don't see why app-misc/golly was masked for removal. -- Sergei
