I’m not sure what more they could have done. Python 2 was released almost two decades ago, with an original planned sunsetting that got pushed back to 2020. That’s plenty of time and respect for their users.

You’re free to stick with python 2 for as long as you’d like. You’re free to fork the project and continue develop it. To say there is no benefit to new and evolving languages is odd and short-sighted.

Not broken 2? None of the breaking changes in 3 were necessary.
