The proposal is to give one year to project maintainers to drop Python 2.7 support, since Python 2.7 end of support just happened a few weeks ago (2020-01-01).
IMO creating this kind of "gray areas" in support and deprecation issues is bad. What this will create is just more sources for arguing/debates. Once deprecation or EoL schedule is set, it is best to align to it. Discussions about the schedules should happen when setting them, not when the deadline is coming. Also I am not sure it is really worth it. For example, importing ABCs directly from collections was deprecated 8 years ago, what would 1 extra year change? -- Ivan
