What makes something obsolete in your eyes then? Just because some people want A to replace B, that makes B obsolete?
For reference, Oxford dictionaries define (..."define"? are multiple dictionaries involved here?) "obsolete" as:
1. no longer produced or used; out of date.
Clearly Python 2.7 is in widespread use, and version 2.7.12 came out just a few months ago, so it's neither "no longer produced" nor "no longer used" nor "out of date"...
