Hi, Ulrich. Yes, the deadlines are meant to speed up the process as we |
| 21 |
have *roughly* 1000+ pkgs which must be converted to py3 or removed |
| 22 |
before we can drop the interpreter. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
As such, doing this in bulk with delays in between masks helps others |
| 25 |
find and fix up these packages if they can stay. Some have ports to Py3, |
| 26 |
others simply don't need the bindings, etc. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So, thank you to all who have taken a few minutes to help us keep |
| 29 |
packages that can still be supported. Unfortunately, we have a bad ratio |
| 30 |
of devs to # of packages. |
