[Python-modules-team] python-tz_2020.1-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Sandro Tosi]

Alastair,
In addition to what Scott said, please do not drop python2 support if
there are still "valid" reverse dependencies:
http://sandrotosi.me/debian/py2removal/python-tz_2.svg python-numpy
still needs python-tz, so unless you want to make numpy un-buildable,
please keep python-tz around until we're ready to drop python-numpy
from the archive (which is going to take a bit more time)
