Hi Miro,
I can understand the desire to remove pytz and I have to mention that I don't have any specific upstream feedback.
However certbot/babel do support pretty old versions of Python. Adding a separate code path for Python 3.x+ might be a pretty tough sell and might contribute to the "let's advertise snaps only for distribution" mindset.
Hi Felix.
Disclaimer: We are not removing pytz as long as there are packages that depend on it.
For babel, I follow this: https://github.com/python-babel/babel/issues/716
Since we have marked the pytz package unwanted for ELN and we have babel in ELN (trough sphinx), we'll most likely try to help there (or get rid of babel from ELN's sphinx).
BTW There's backports.zoneinfo for Python 3.6+, so we'll see how long babel needs to support Python 2.
