## Notice of deprecation for Python2 packages

Python2 will retire in... [see link](https://pythonclock.org/)

That means, we also had to make a plan for OpenWrt's Python2 packages.

For a longer explanation about this plan, see:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/8520

But the bottom line is as follows:

* Hard deadline for new Py2 programs and libraries: 31 May 2019
* Normal updates deadline: 31 October 2019 (security updates continue afterwards)
* Mass removal: 31 March 2020 (or 2 weeks before freeze for 20.x release, whichever is sooner)
