DOC: Plans for 2.7
State: closed

Closes https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/18894

Just some sample text, essentially following NumPy.

Of course, it'd be nice if 1.0 happened to be the LTS, but we'll see.

Sure, are we comfortable with the proposal and timeline? Personally, I'm not sure how much backporting we can commit to doing over 2019. Is there any benefit to being ahead of NumPy here, by a bit, since they're a dependency?
actually I don't think we should commit to a LTS release at all. The final release of 2.7 is Dec 31, 2018. 
We could always add that support if someone wants to commit to it (people and funding). 
Updated the text about 2.7 support after December 31, 2018 to reflect the default of "we're done with 2.7. If someone wants to continue supporting it, let us know."
lgtm. @jorisvandenbossche 
we also need to remember to keep this warning in here for each release
I'll send out a note to the mailing list.

thanks @TomAugspurger 
The link in the whatsnew warning doesn't work: http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/whatsnew.html
 
I've created a PR to http://www.python3statement.org to add pandas to the timeline:
