One one hand, we do need to give maintainers with Python-dependent 
packages enough time to rebuilt.  OTOH those who update their packages 
frequently might not switch until later to avoid maintaining 
experimental packages over time, or others might just push it off until 
they're forced to rebuild.

I would say one month max -- say May 31, and anything after that may be 
considered unmaintained if the maintainer refuses to respond.
