+1 from me. (With the caveat that "time will tell" is definitely the ultimate answer. Plans may change unexpectedly, even though we don't expect them to.)

PS. I'm surprised that Martin thinks that the -3 mode in 2.6 is not helpful. But I trust he has ported a lot more code to 3.x than I have personally. Are there other experiences?

So, it should say "Guido wants 2.7 to be the last main version of Python 2, so it probably will be. We promise to release bugfixes it for, like, ages".

No need to be needlessly formal. :-D That summarizes my understanding of what Guido said fairly well :-) +1 for putting it into the announcements. Regards, Martin
