I suspect you meant "isn't going to die completely"
It'll flare up again every time there's a significant event in the 2.7's end of life: when it goes into source-only support, when its python.org support ends entirely, when Debian's next version won't ship it, when Red Hat's ditto ditto, when it's no longer possible to get it from Ubuntu's repositories, etc, etc, etc. And no amount of "There will be no 2.8 unless you make it yourself!" will change that. That's my prediction.
Sadly, mine too. Maybe the flareup peaks will gradually become lower. Or maybe they will not be discussed so much on python-list.
