[oi-dev] The end of python-27

As some of you may know, Nona and I have been working through a list
of packages that depend on python-27 .  The list was originally
published by Aurlien Larcher, with a view to the removal of python-27
from OI.

With the integration of PR #7942, there are only two remaining
packages:

    developer/gnome/gnome-doc-utils
    image/editor/gimp

In both of these cases, python-2 is deeply embedded in the product,
and the upstream developers have not completed the conversion to
python-3 .  Unless the conversion happens very soon, we have little
choice but to obsolete these two packages, and revive them later when
the conversion is ready.  If anyone has a better alternative, please
let us know.
