This doesn't match the intent behind what I originally suggested nor
my subsequent interpretation of what we discussed, and unfortunately
the plan on the etherpad is slightly vague here too. I thought what
we were agreeing to was that leaf projects (services and the like)
had *until* milestone 1 (~2019-12-12) to remove Python 2.7 testing
if they depend on shared libraries which are planning to remove
support for it in Ussuri. From then until milestone 2 (~2020-02-13)
shared libraries could work on dropping support for Python 2.7. If
libs are allowed to drop support for it *after* milestone 2 then
that doesn't leave much time before they're released at milestone 3
to stabilize or reverse course.

This is a milestone later than I expected, unless you mean they
should be done by this point. It's just about removing jobs, so
projects should be on the ball and do this quickly.

This leaves less than 2 months where libraries are allowed to
complete the necessary work before they get released for Ussuri
(remember the final release for libraries is at R-6, the week before
milestone 3).

Libraries are released the week before this, so no, that doesn't
really provide any auditing opportunity.

I apologize, in retrospect I realize that the distinction between
"by" and "at" in English could be too subtle for a lot of folks to
pick up on, and I should have been more explicit in my original
proposal.
