I agree, but let us look at reality: - bullseye will be released maybe around spring 2021 - Py2 will be deprecated 2020/1/1 I think the deprecations of Py2 will trigger a considerable shift, even within Calibre (but I must admit, this is a guess!). That means, even if we wait 3 months till 2020/3, there is still approximately one year to clean up the rest. The last *2* month have seen a considerable shift to Py3 in Debian, so I guess that a year will be sufficient (ok, deducing freeze period etc say 6 months). So yes to your argument - I will not wait till shortly before the release of Bullseye, but I will wait to see what happens after 2020/1/1 in Calibre.
