It can always bundle it so, no, nothing would have to be maintained, it could literally work forever (I count on this, Calibre library is among first things on my apocalypse readiness plan :). It does so on Windows ATM. Plugins are not really a problem in Calibre, I could disable all of them and would still use it as it has enormous amount of functionality OTB. It might be even better to not rely on plugins like on any other system. So not a problem really, even if it were true. Python2 is going to hunt us at least several more years anyway.
