I'd like to have a discussion on the future of 2.x, at least as far as 
core development goes. Supporting both 2.x and 3.x cuts my contributions 
in half, at best. For example, in order to keep 2.x and 3.x nearly in 
sync, Mark and I back-ported the API's for short-float-repr to 2.x, even 
though 2.x itself didn't see any benefit from that work (well, at least 
not much of a benefit).

My initial thought is let's stop after 2.7 (if we even release 2.7). But 
it all depends on uptake of 3.x, and what stopping core development 
means to the community.

Can we discuss this at the language summit?

Eric.
