Honestly, I suspect Chris is right, this is going to end in a world of
pain for us, if we drop 2.7 support before it has died a natural
death.   I doubt that we'd gain much either, because we'd have to
maintain a separate bug-fix only version for 2.7.

So I'd like to apply the same rules as we do for any other Python
version - when the cost of the features we are missing outweighs the
pain we're going to cause people by dropping the version, we drop the
version.

Cheers,

Matthew
