Replying to [comment:17 vbraun]:
> Nobody in their right mind is going to want to install the old python
spkg.
Absolutely.
> If you want to distribute code outside of Sage (in a spkg) then imho its
not too much to ask that you also tell your users the download url.
Okay, but Simon's package is not being distributed outside of Sage: you
are proposing with this ticket to move it outside of Sage. I think a
deprecation period makes a lot of sense, giving the late-adopters time to
update their old-style packages. It is not reasonable, on the other hand,
to just say "we are immediately deleting all old-style packages from the
servers with no warning."
