It would not prevent you from receiving updates, it would prevent you from receiving updates for free. You may of course pay somebody to update 2.7 for you. The Python Software Foundation never promised they would continue maintaining any release indefinitely, and it's unreasonable to expect them to do so. But in fact they are continuing to fix critical bugs even in 2.7, so they are being generous. Nobody is being blackmailed or repressed. |

No, but it's reasonable to expect them to hear the concerns of the largest use base of Python, which is 2.x users - even if they decide not to follow them in the end.
Except if they just do it "for fun" and "for the sake of it" and could not care less for adoption or the community in general.
