I don't think that it's exclusive. We can deprecate the 2to3 feature
in distutils as well. But please don't put a requirement on
deprecating distutils to be able to deprecate 2to3: there is the PEP
632 for that.

Now I recall that docutils, which is used by Sphinx uses, the 2to3
feature of distutils. I was surprised to see that. This project can
run 2to3 once and drop Python 2 support (or use any other tool to keep
Python 2 support if they prefer).
