# Quote: That means that we will not improve it anymore after that day,
# even if someone finds a security problem in it. You should upgrade to
# Python 3 as soon as you can. [..] So, in 2008, we announced that we
# would sunset Python 2 in 2015, and asked people to upgrade before
# then. Some did, but many did not. So, in 2014, we extended that
# sunset till 2020.
