the wiki promise was written by myself alone, and I think it should be changed. I think there will be very few (or no) people that will desire to compile sage 9.0 with python 2. And 9.1 even more. People that want to be up to date do not care about py2. I therefore strongly vote for the immediate drop of python2, and for removing the promise that 9.1 will be py2-compatible
