It might not be possible to drop Python2 for the next release, but there are still too many issues with packages. For now we identified some categories which need fixing. These are documented at https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2017/Python3Montreal, resulting in more than 3000 bug reports. That's a high number, on the other hand we won't make much progress if the issues are not named. My intent is to bring that up in the Python BoF next week at DebConf and then filing these bug reports with the user tags mentiond on the wiki page. Matthias
