That shouldn't be a problem: it's perfectly fine to say that some GDB feature requires Python 3.x. We already have something similar with Guile, I believe. > My feeling is that the end of Python 2.x is something we have known > about for a very long time, and those still stuck on it have a > workaround: They can continue using older versions of GDB. That is not always possible, though. One may need a GDB feature that was introduced in a newer version, but still have good reason to be "stuck" with old Python versions.
