Fw: [PROPOSAL] To retire autoconf for 4.1

[yaberger at ca.ibm.com]

If we go back to what triggered the discussion between Python 2 vs Python 
3

http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3
"Python 2.x is the status quo, The final 2.x version 2.7 release is out, 
with a statement of extended support for this end-of-life release. "

Maybe you should ask the Python community when they expect to end the 
extended support for Python 2.7.

As for the Linux distributions, I expect they might decide to provide 
Python 3 instead Python 2 as their base Python package, but still provide 
Python 2.7 as an optional package until the Python community stop 
supporting it.
If they don't, they're not helping themself to keep their user base.
