It's breaking the whole world and I'm actually not sure there's a good reason for it. Who cares if sphinx 2.0 doesn't run on Python 2.7 when we set and achieved a goal in Stein to only run docs jobs under Python 3? It's unavoidable for stable/rocky and earlier but it seems like the pain on master is not necessary.
While we support python2 *anywhere* we need to do this. The current tools (both ours and the broader python ecosystem) need to have these markers. I apologise that we managed to mess this up we're looking at how we can avoid this in the future but we don't really get any kinda of signals about $library dropping support for $python_version. The py2 things is more visible than a py3 minor release but they're broadly the same thing Yours Tony.
