*I believe Magnus had tested it on 2.0 and it either mostly or all
worked. I don't think we've done too much wonky development on the
backend since the Python 3 move. Needs some thorough testing, of course.

In production we use the system packages, so we'd have to ensure that
it's there first before removing it (which otherwise is why it'd be an
embedded dependency)
