Otoh, there are costs associated with removing Python 2 compatibility. For example, some plugins apparently don't work with 3. One of my guiding principles is that "two steps forward and one back" is not good enough. That would be a valid complaint about Leo 6.0. There is no perfect solution. It's a judgment call. Imo, Leo 6.0 should happen next, despite temporary problems. In the long term, supporting only Python 3 may make it easier to resuscitate moribund plugins.
