There are still a large number of packages in openSUSE:Factory that are python2-only. Some have not been touched upstream in years. We probably should start thinking about what to do with them.
I think we should break python2-only packages into four categories:
* Those that have python3 support that just hasn't been integrated should be updated.
* Those that upstream has indicated has python3 support in the near-term roadmap should be kept as-is for now (or updated to the latest version).
* Those that are python2-only and have not seen upstream activity since 2016 should be dropped from openSUSE:Factory and dropped from devel:languages:python after a two-week warning period.
* All others, including backports packages, should be moved to a new subproject, devel:languages:python:legacy since they won't need many updates or rebuilds. This project should be built but not published.
What does everyone think of this plan?
