I disagree.  If you want to make friends and influence people, your 
opening sentence is not "It's becoming increasingly harder to have 
reasonable discussions about the differences between Python 2 and 3 
because one language is dead and the other is actively developed."  If 
Python 2 is dead, why are the core developers wasting their time 
committing patches to the Python 2 source code, because they have 
nothing better to do?
