MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stscitools [2]: I suggest to delete this deprecated Python 2 package from 2017. It has no consumers on AUR. Since 2019, a huge number of astronomy and cosmology projects moved exclusively to Python 3, and now the Python 2 modules are incompatible with the foundational binary libraries like HDF5. Therefore the Python 2 ecosystem for these packages are virtually nonexistent now. It is beneficial to eliminate the unused packages from here, to help volunteers focus their efforts on where it is actually making a difference.
