Thanks for the reminder!

I'll be honest: even if somebody in this list objects to dropping
Python 2 support, I'm not willing to be maintainer of a Python 2
codebase in 2020.  The only reason for not doing it in 4.1 was
the tests/vm/netbsd breakage we took very long to debug and fix.

I have just submitted this pull request:
