Perhaps youtube-dl-gui could be removed along the python2 *leaf* packages that are orphaned as a result. The consensus for Python 2 packages is that they have to go, but that it's OK for their removal to be gradual. They tend to break because upstream often stops supporting Python 2 and can thus be phased out naturally when it happens this way. It's a good exercise to try to "free" important packages from any Python 2 appearing in their closure. Thanks, Maxim
