I would say those are exactly what should be removed. Its a whole lot of packages in the repos that have no reason to be there.

No required/makedepends/programs should be removed, but please check for the programs on the list if there is a Python 3 equivalent. -- Jelle van der Waa signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[arch-dev-public] Removing 'orphan' python2 modules
Hi All, Our repository contains a lot of python2 modules which are required by any package in the repository. I'd like to propose to remove these modules pre-emptively since they serve no purpose and python2 is dead. We should strive to be a modern distro, so promoting Python3 should be a big part of it :) Please reply if you have objections. A list of modules / programs can be obtained as following or viewed here [1] $ pacman -Sqs python2 > list $ expac -S '%n %N' -l ' ' - < list | awk NF==1 [1] http://pkgbuild.com/~jelle/python2_modules.txt -- Jelle van der Waa signature.asc Description: PGP signature
