Just to illustrate that mentality of our customers and yours is really radically different. I hope I won't leak terribly important information when I say that AFAIK the biggest outcry among our customers was ending of support for RHEL 2.1 (that's kernel 2.4.9, just to get an perspective, http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=redhat). There are some widely unsubstantiated rumours of navy admirals (or CEO of bank?) begging on their knees in front of Jim Whitehurst.
I wouldn't expect our customers too loose a second of their sleep over availability of Python3.

Meanwhile, your customers's suppliers wept quiet tears of relief that they wouldn't have to keep working around bugs that had been fixed for most of a decade, but finally had an excuse to force their ridiculously tardy customers to upgrade. (My workplace actually had a thank-god-they're-upgrading party.)
