I would guess over 99% of all Python code written doesn't run on Python 3. Given that, I think it is premature to close the door on new major versions of Python 2.x. Also, we as a project should be careful not to present the image that Python 2.x will not be supported in the future.

Why that? It is a fact: 2.x will not be supported, in some future. Should we lie to users?

After the Python 2.7 release, the focus of Python development will be on Python 3. There will continue to be maintainance releases of Python 2.x.

It shouldn't say that, because it wouldn't be true.
