That has been official since 2011, but even today you may need some lib only available in Python 2.x and thus may need to start a new project in 2.7. I started several python projects since 2011 knowing that it was a dead end, but my hands were tied. At the time there was not even a working wsgi spec, and no web frameworks for 3.x, and the first ones has an awful performance (2.7 is bad enough). Only recently 3.x has become a viable alternative. I for one welcome this 2.8 fork.
