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
tohave a snapshot of the buildfarm state after rejecting python 2, separate from the more verbose changes.
