Suggestion for terminology "once-compatible" packages #4
Description
The term would refer to packages that at one time were compatible with Python 2 and Python 3, that are migrating to Python 3 only compatibility in a new release.
Basically, this is the specific use case that this is trying to address.
Also, (bonus, not a reason per se) it carries a nice allusions to other Arthurian tales (specifically, The Once and Future King).

I like the story-like connotations of 'once', but I wonder if 'previously' might be clearer to non-native speakers.

We should certainly explain the term before we begin using it, in any case.
