It is probably a good idea to coordinate on when to drop 2.7 support
and announce it in advance so everybody has enough time to prepare.
2020 seems the agreed upon time to do it:
https://pythonclock.org/
https://python3statement.org/
Since many projects already did drop 2.x support using (and testing)
the gdb python 2.x bindings is already getting somewhat complicated on
modern distros.
