Not a huge fan of this (but not a very strong opinion).
I actually think we should consider deprecating formulae that still need Python2. Thoughts, @Homebrew/core?

I'm open to opinions here as I'm mainly experimenting with this.
In terms of Python2 formulae, the most popular ones didn't work on quick attempt, i.e.
node@10- failed with generic message. It is already deprecated, but is remains popular (at least on macOS = 5.5k+ installs/mo). It is also a dependency forkibana(deprecated)/opensearch-dashboards(should update to newer node that builds with Python3).bazaar- it builds, but has Python runtime dependency, with some code that is designed around CPython. It is a dependency forinfluxdb, which is reasonably popular (macOS = 2.4k+ installs/mo)

I believe @iMichka and @sjackman have a expressed a strong opposition to supporting Python 2 in any way on Linux, and I completely agree with them on this. I would support deprecating all formulae which still depend on Python 2 as well, unless the upstream team has provided a clear roadmap for when they will transition to Python 3. We are coming up on 2 years since Python 2 EOL, and I think it is unacceptable for projects to depend on an unsupported language like this.
Specifically regarding bazaar, Fedora has replaced it with breezy, a maintained forked that should be drop in compatible: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceBazaarWithBreezy. We could disable the bazaar formula and make bzr an alias to breezy.
For this particular formula, I think it should be deprecated and we should notify upstream that this has happened. There has a been a pull request open for 3 years to add Python 3 support: graphql/libgraphqlparser#66. It was also noted in the issue that this repo may no longer have an active maintainer: graphql/libgraphqlparser#66.

Yeah, let's not add back python 2 support. So much work has been done to get rid of it.

Agreed with deprecating these formulae.

Some dates I was considering:
2020-04-20was final Python 2 (2.7.18) release date.2020-01-01was official Python 2 EOL date.
Could also just use current date or 2021-04-20 as 1+ year after final release.

Let's just go with today, so that it's easier for us to figure out if enough time has passed to disable! it.
