exactly. This is what i have always believed. just Google and Dropbox have too much py2 code to drop it or do a wholesale conversion.
Nothing is going to be EOLed. Its going to be business as usual and the python foundation will never agree to killing python 2 in the next decade.
the only way forward is through six ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six) or something like it. Its well worth building and funding a python 2 compatibility layer in python3... and then moving to py3 runtime.
im actually surprised that someone like Google is not throwing some funding towards building a compatibility layer.
