> Python 2 is scheduled to be EOL'd upstream officially and for good in 2020. We're in 2015 now (wow, that went quickly), and keeping our release cadence up (3 years a pop) puts Stretch up in 2018, and Buster in 2021. Am I missing something? Did Debian decide to extend their release cycles? Jessie is due to be released next week, which is 2 years since Wheezy (May 2013). In fact, the last several years have all been 2-year cycles, not 3. The only three-year cycle was Woody → Sarge (2002-2005), and AFAIK, that delay was one of the reasons that Ubuntu had room to enter the market. Since this put pressure on Debian to make their development more rapid, I'd be surprised if they decided to move in the opposite direction.
