Thanks, welcome aboard! If you want any pointers about making the transition, feel free to ask.

(Confirmed that @KostyaEsmukov is the main recent contributor to Geopy)

It's incredible watching "major" projects like geopy appearing in the middle(!) of the list and seeing the whole list continue to grow. The tide has turned. Python 3 will not be Perl 6.

Yup, there were some uncertain moments, but it's great to see the transition happening.

When we started drafting this statement, I likened our projects to migrating wildebeest standing nervously on the bank of a river. Any one crossing alone risks getting eaten by crocodiles, but if they can see each other crossing, they'll charge on. This metaphor may not be biologically all that accurate, but I still like the idea. :-)

@takluyver this is a great metaphor! Indeed, the more projects join the "herd", the stronger the arguments for abandoning 2.7 sooner than its EOL.

While we are here, I would like to thank everyone involved in putting up such a thoughtful and persuasive statement, which is a genuine pleasure to sign and share. 🎉
