Andreas was suggesting a compromise.
Split out the python2 loader but keep the python3 loader within the main
libpeas-1.0-0 package. This will reduce the churn quite a but.

Both Emilio and myself are ok with that proposal, so we intend to
proceed with that plan.

This means we can close most of the bugs and and only need to keep the 3
python2 bugs open. We should follow up there and make it clear that they
should update to python3. They then can drop the explicit dependency on
the python2 loader package again.

I intend to work on the libpeas package the next couple of days.
One of the modfications I'd like to do, is move the python2 loader
package to oldlibs/extra and drop the soname specific part from the package.

I hope you can agree with this plan, if not, please shout.



Regards,
Michael
