It is very likely that you're wrongly guessing. Numerous times, the Python upstream people wrote that the py2 to py3 transition was a bad idea, and they will not do the same kind of mistake again, and that there probably wont be a Python 4 anytime. Which is why I thought merging the content of python3-babel and python3-babel-localedata would be a good idea. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
