But python2 is still in oe-core zeus and older so it should continue to
be maintained there, right?

Why should people add meta-python2 to zeus (or older) builds? If there
are more security updates to python2 or any other recipes, then they
should still land in oe-core or meta-oe/meta-python as well and
maintaining the duplicates in meta-python2 seems unnecessary overhead.

My understanding was that meta-python2 is just to help transition from
oe-core/master when the python2 is dropped there.
