Given the slightly different way our release process works, my understanding of this proposal is "the first release cut after 2020-3-1 will be the last one to support Python 2.7; after that release is cut, non-2.7-compatible work will begin occurring on trunk". If my understanding is correct, I second it. 3 months after the official EOL seems like enough time for people who really care about legacy support to get their fixes in.
