Background question: Will PyTest 4.0 be removing support for Python 2? Or am I misunderstanding this?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Ronny,

a) maintenance-python2 : this will be the branch where bugfixes for the
last python2 suporting versions will happen

i intend to create it in line with the yet to be shaped plans for the
python2 support/maintenance branches once the poll results are reviwerd
and we have decided on a timeline to put into action

Sounds good.
 
b) removals or breakage : this will be the branch where we merge
breaking changes in preparation of major releases

Do we need this? I was thinking we would just remove the breaking changes in the "features" branch after 4.0 is released (for 4.0 we will turn the warnings into errors, removal will happen in 4.1). 

True, in that order its actually fine to sort out that way, my brain is a bit hardwired to too strict semver
