C99 is a language standard. Python 2 is a language and the CPython runtime, and a massive standard library. They're barely comparable.

What it certainly true is that it will take exponentially more work to keep Python 2 alive. They're not allowed to use the name so that's an instant usage drop-off. And many major third party libraries are dropping support too.

You're probably right though. You'll probably get to use Pytwo (or whatever they call its) for a few more years yet.
