The same argument could be made for any arbitrary amount of time though.

1 week is not enough

1 month is not enough

1 year is not enough

5 years is not enough

10 years is not enough

20 years is not enough...

Do you really have Python projects that can't be migrated in 3 years?

At some point the line has to be drawn to move everyone forward. Extending the EOL for the last long-term of 2.7.x by 5 additional years is pretty generous.

I think you completly misunderstood my comment ;-) And yes 3 years for some projects with small teams is barely enough :)
