Hello Fellow Archers,
Most people say that Arch is cutting edge and saving GNOME2 as gnome2 is not the the Arch way. I know that packaging and maintaining GNOME2 is a hard task that no devs would want to take care of and that we'll most likely be seeing unofficial repositories but what about python? Despite the upstream python is 3.x, we still have python2 for failback? So is that the Arch way?
quote from python.org The current production versions are Python 2.7.1 and Python 3.2.
Start with one of these versions for learning Python or if you want the most stability; they're both considered stable production releases.now.
While with GNOME it's the case that GNOME2 is dead , SO LONG LIVE GNOME3!!

That was the point I was trying to make. GNOME 2 is being dropped not just because GNOME 3 is here, but because upstream is dropping it and nobody wants to go through the trouble to try to maintain something entirely unsupported upstream. And, for the millionth time, when a shared library GNOME 2 uses gets a major version bump, there goes any semblance of compatibility it would have.
