Yep, I am in agreement here. I don't understand why Python 2 gets attention from Cygwin maintainers. I have a found a few packages that are "linked" (e.g. they have dependencies on either the Python27 or Python2/Python meta-package), which would explain this to some degree. Usually, it's just a rebuild (e.g. a re-configure) of the depending-ee...

I can't get rid of three Python 2.7 packages: python27, python27-pip, python27-setuptools. I switched over to using alternatives (sometime ago) so that I can "stop" the craziness of the meta-package "python". I don't want Python 2 as my 'python'.

The need to have two Pythons installed at the same time seems to be over. Shouldn't this remove the need to have meta-packages?

Cygiwn isn't alone is keeping Python 2 alive.
