Removing a sunsetted, deprecated language is hardly a breaking change. If you're going to use old stuff the onus is on you to do whatever crazy workarounds are needed. Python 3 came out almost 15 years ago.

"15 years ago" is a silly number, it wasn't usable then. Maybe 6 years ago when python 3.5 was released is a better comparison?

I agree with them getting rid of python2 though.

Maybe. Python 3.2 was fine, I moved my stuff over to that shortly after it came out in 2011. Waiting this long to upgrade 2.7 code is completely on the user.
