The plan previously documented was <=1.13.x is Python 2 and >=1.14.x
is Python 3. Other projects that migrated Python versions and drop
support for older have tended to take a more drastic version jump to
make it clearer to users. So lets adjust the plan to say <=1.x will
support Python 2, and >=2.x will be Python 3-only.
This also allows us to harmonize the repo launcher version. It is
currently sitting at v1.26 and has been incremented independently of
the repo version for the life of the project. While we might know
these lower nuances, pretty much no one else does and it just leads
to confusion: do I know version 1.26 or version 1.13.7? Or do I
have both? What does that even mean?
Once we update the major version to 2.0.0, we can also adjust the
launcher script to 2.0.0, and then the launcher release process will
be tied to a new repo release in general.

As we convert repo to support Python 3, the version of Python that we
use might not be the version that repo hooks users have written for.
Since repo upgrades are not immediate, and not easily under direct
control of end users (relative to the projects maintaining the hook
code), allow hook authors to declare the version of Python that they
want to use.
Now repo will read the shebang from the hook script and compare it
against the version of Python repo itself is running under. If they
differ, we'll try to execute a separate instance of Python and have
it load & execute the hook. If things are compatible, then we still
use the inprocess execution logic that we have today.
This allows repo hook users to upgrade on their own schedule (they
could even upgrade to Python 3 ahead of us) without having to worry
about their supported version being exactly in sync with repo's.
