We could insert DeprecationWarnings in the python scripts when executed with python2 but I fear this could break things that rely on these scripts output. https://docs.python.org/2/library/warnings.html#warnings.warn I'm not sure how to prevent this kind of issues though. About official deprecation notices, I figure the decision must be made by maintainers and/or the technical board. -- Robin
