The goal was to improve Python. I don't think anyone's ever tried to
"kill off" Python 2 - not in the sense of stopping people from using
it - but there haven't been any changes, not even security fixes, in
over four years.

Kidding, eh? It sure sounded like you were trying to imply that there
would inevitably be another major breaking change. It definitely
smelled like FUD.

Maybe your jokes just aren't funny.
