People from the Czech community are using py2 mainly because of procrastinating with transition. Also I like the idea to push them a little bit and from the meetup, you all know I hate maintaining old crappy py2-py3 compatibility workarounds (not only in Pywikibot). And finally I like the quote: "People still using Python 2 need to understand this is not main branch anymore and should accept the fact - if they are going to use it further - that it will require extra work **from them instead of devs** to keep their code running." I also want to point out that with setuptools everyone using good old SemVer recommended practice of specifying dependencies like: `pywikibot >= 3.0.20180108, <= 4` should be also fine without any branch fiddling (why don't Pywikibot use this format and we are surprised by breakage every time a dependency pushes some breaking release?)
