Not at all. Oe-core will continue to provide python 2 recipes, swig is now compatible with both 2 and 3, the supporting 3rd party py2 libraries that will be removed from oe-core will be added to meta-oe at the same time (python-dbus), or should be trivial to add, if anyone actually needs them (python-git). Python 2 users should be able to continue with minimal (or zero) tweaks.

That said, we want to make it clear that it's time to get serious about moving to Python 3. It's been out for many years, the only excuses left are the bad ones.
