It's quite possible that Arch Linux (I mentioned it by a previous
reply) might move python2 back to the Arch User Repository before 2023,
where it probably gets orphaned very soon. However, the policy of Arch
Linux is different to the Ubuntu's policy, so Xen should consider to
compare both policies regarding his needs.
