Yeah, agreed. I don't feel like this is incompatible with the spirit of python3statement.org, though looking at the text I can see how it's not clear. My guess is they'd be happy to adjust the text, especially if it lets them add numpy :-). CC'ing Thomas and Matthias. Thanks Nathaniel. We have (IMO) left a degree of deliberate ambiguity around precisely what 'drop support' means, because it's not going to be the same for all projects. The nature of open source also means that there can be ambiguity over what 'support' entails and who is considered part of the project. I would say that the idea of the statement is compatible with an LTS release series receiving critical bugfixes beyond 2020, while the main energy of the project is focused on Py3-only feature releases.
