You laugh, but there was at least one attendee at the last PyCon who was

...or as long as there's business value in keeping it running. As I
recall it took the banking industry decades to move things forward. I
still maintain software for customers that I originally wrote 35 years
ago. Rule one is don't fix it if it ain't broke, so yes, I've got
python projects deployed that run under everything from 1.5.2 on.
Fortunately, they all work without issue so maintenance isn't a problem.
