What do you expect the lifetime of the layer to be and
would you include that in the layer's README?

If it's about a year and meant as a temporary transition,
that seems reasonable but otherwise, it's similar to meta-gplv2
which has working code but code whose security status is suspect.

Of course there is a lot of python2 code around so I suspect that
the Jan 1, 2020 EOL for python2 might slip but hopefully by months
not by years.
