Do you know if there is an esri end of support for python 2.7 occurring in 2020?

esri will have to limp along in ArcMap if they keep that strain beyond 2020.  They actually don't support 2.7 directly, but python 2.7 isn't being supported with updates, security patches etc, so if something arises in python, then everyone is on their own.
