This is exactly the scenario that makes no sense to deny. If the package is still maintained, regardless of lack of changes to the software, why simply throw out working software?
Because the maintainers of its dependencies won't maintain them just for a decade old dead software. Please, stop spreading this FUD about FESCo outright denying requests for Python 2 exceptions. In a half year old thread about a package that was retired 4 months ago because it wasn't installable - with coordination from the maintainer.
So long as Python2 remains installable, I don't see why you feel the need to rip it out of the distro.
