Has there been discussion lately about Jython 2.7.3 vs Jython 3? I'd
personally like to see all efforts concentrated on Jython 3 once
Jython 2.7.2 is out. Python 2 EOL being very near, more and more
projects are dropping Python 2 support and at the same time they drop
Jython support as well. For us Jython support is the primary reason to
support Python 2 still after the EOL, but I cannot see us doing it
past 2020 anymore.
