And yes, breaking piuparts is a NOGO in my opinion. piuparts is unrelated to python-gdal, and hence not relevant to the gdal transition. Important packages like piuparts deserve more consideration in changes like the py2removal, but they are not sacred either. Its maintainer is responsible for not holding back progress. If the maintainer is unable, progress should not be blocked by it. > As > is breaking all kind of other stuff while you know you break it. Give it > time, please. We may even ship python2 in bullseye if we need to. Sorry, I don't have the patience to wait for that. As I've stated, the packages in question don't warrant that consideration in my opinion. python-networkx is a key package due to its python3 rdeps, not the python2 ones. That python2 ones are not that important. I think you're all making a much bigger fuss about this than you should. > Fix > reverse dependencies *before* dropping python2 packages.

Again sorry, I also don't have the energy to spend on packages like these. I already spend it on the GIS packages. I don't have any to spare for non-important packages like these. That's the responsibility of their respective maintainers. RC bugs have proven to be good motivators to get maintainers to act, I don't think you should consider that bullying.
