Sure. I don't really understand why people are putting so much effort into this discussion. For serious users of Python 2 who need support in any sense (and I accept that they exist and assume they've had their reasons for the last 13 years), the "support" we're providing now is basically a bulletin board for third-party patches and a bit of vetting. Anybody can fork on the same GitHub we use and announce they're doing it. If we were providing installers, that might be something, but we don't. I guess in some enterprise situations, the PSF imprimatur might make a difference, even though they're pulling a tag from GitHub rather than a signed binary. That's about it, as far as I can see. I really just wanted to crack the joke in the Subject line for those who can remember the love story of Tevye and Golde.
