Just to point this out in a separate message: it will have to be
somebody else. I stepped down as the Windows release maintainer for 2.7
when I learned about the extended life of 2.7, much because I feared
that exactly the thing would happen that we see happen now - and I
didn't want to be the one who would have to deal with it. It is a mess,
and it will get bigger the more time passes.
