I was assuming that py2keep was a temporary flag that would be removed after the leaf packages get fixed. Since spyder and skimage are under the science team I wasn't sure how long it would take for them to get around to removing the python2 packages. Both spyder and skimage packages have python3 versions. spyder does install into /usr/bin/spider so it's removal will have a bigger impact on end users than something that's just a python package. I did upload a new version of cloudpickle last night 1.2.1-1 with Python2 removed, I'm trying to figure out if I should let the dependencies just live with the previous python-cloudpickle 0.8.0 package or if I should upload a new version of 1.2.1 with the python2 packaging built.
