Well, it makes a lot sense as long as it is gone in several distros already.
I felt important to add my voice there.
Also, I think people judge too fast those things, as we don't know the reason for moving to the next python being not a priority. We don't know the guy reason, maybe he simply has no time. We don't know what happens with his life, he provided a good tool for many years, why lose patience now?
I am sure all of you and maintainers of other fine distros worked a lot at this migration, you feel you must stop now due to a few things, say you drop them for now, which is perfectly understandable.
What I don't get is why not supplying the latest EOL python version you have for once more as long as you already did in the last years, just to support a few good tools for one more year? Tools for the users, not for the sake of their makers. What is so harmful in this?
I don't say you don't, as I don't know yet for sure, but I see them gone in Cauldron, or I don't know how to look for them...
Now to go to the tools themselves, maybe there are ways to preserve colour calibration, but GIMP Resynthesizer is a technology that few expensive proprietary software have. Good resource that AppImage site, BTW, thank you!
