I guess what I was actually wondering about - but didn't write - was whether it's worth rejecting python 2 with just configure / msvc perl changes initially.

The proper removal of python 2 support includes a bunch of buildsystem and code changes. Seems like it could be useful to have a snapshot of the buildfarm state after rejecting python 2, separate from the more verbose changes.
