This is just speculative, just based on my own historical understanding of python-dev's process and somewhat informal definition of "support", but I believe the sentence "Support officially stops January 1 2020, but the final release will occur after that date." means something like "We will accept new bug reports and may start fixing things until January 1; however, the fixes in progress as of that date will be completed and released in a final version some time later." When we EOL py27 support for Twisted we should probably do something similar so anyone who wants to get a pending fix out as part of the last 27-supporting release has a window to do that. -g
