Sure, and I don't mind removing packages that clearly don't support py3 and whose maintainers have done nothing about that. However, I do mind removing packages that do support py3 and that ended up on the list probably because some deep indirect dep had some kind of py2 usage problem (that I had no reason to know about), maybe because it's any-r1 or had optional USE=python... -- Best regards, Michał Górny
