DISCLAIMER: I'm not very close to the core Python/language community, 
nor have I paid much attention to Py3K.

Has there been a strong statement that there won't be a Python 2.7 and 
beyond? Will Python 2.x be actively killed off?

In the discussion on Python 2.x and 3.x compatibility, substitute the 
word "Zope" for "Python" and think of the irony.

Maybe it would've been better if they'd called it Cobra 1.0. Then we 
could've lived happily in our cohesive Python community. ;-)
