I don't your comment a controversial stance. I don't think the "sunsetting python 2" is controversial either. If there is demand for python2 maintenance, there will be people--like you--working on it and companies selling support for it. All this announcement is saying that the python community at-large (aka "We are volunteers who make and take care of the Python programming language") is focused on python3 and isn't going to work on python2 any more. Their position makes sense, even large communities have limited budgets on development capacity, and they want to spend it only on python3. You control your own capacity, so if you want to focus on python2 you'll likely find some like-minded compatriots.
