Hi all,

I disagree with the “must” wording.

For example, I have a module (which supports both Python 2 and 3), but
the only user of this module is an app (which is Python 3 only).

What’s the point of shipping the Python 2 version of that module then?

In my opinion, we should neither encourage nor discourage shipping the
Python 2 version, and let the maintainer make the decision.
