That was a charming and amusing thread, especially in the face of that one troll.

You missed the wink gesture to everyone else in the know here, I think. Who are the trolls here? The ones voicing their concern at the hostility towards anyone prolonging the life of Python 2, or the ones who suggest names like "Norwegian Blue" to passive-aggressively suggest that Python 2 should cease to be? The ones voicing their concern about threats of trademark litigation, or the ones calling for the lawyers to get involved?

I guess that Python 2 users will be excluded from presenting at Python conferences and events in future if they don't commit to using Python 3. That's the sort of mindset creeping in here. Never mind that at those conferences there will undoubtedly be talks about JavaScript and who knows what else, just as there always has been.
