FWIW, if it were me proposing the patch, I'd ask that we go ahead
now. Delaying patches always comes at a cost, and while I'm sympathetic
to those few who might not be ready to move to Python 3.x yet,
they can continue using GDB 11 if needed. Meanwhile, I'm hoping
to start discussions about GDB 12 a couple of weeks from now,
and it's typically taken us a couple of months before we reach
a point where we can branch, and then another month or two,
sometimes more, before the first release is out. So those who
still depend on Python 2.x have those many months to finish
their transition.
