Given that our dependency, numpy, is dropping support for python 2.7 soon, where do we stand?

Update:
Reopening this conversation now that python projects are all pledging for dropping support for python2. This would help modernize the design and engineering practice in MXNet to help improve speed and quality.

If the consensus is towards the direction of dropping python2 support, I suggest we announce our plan to drop python2 support in the next release, and actually drop the support in the next major version. Thanks.
