If you ask me lets push pygame 2.1.0 and remove anything that
does not
work with this version from testing (it would be removed from
there
anyway).  I know its not good style but stagnation in the status
quo
is also no good solution.

Agreed. pygame 1.9.6 is now almost 3 years old.

Since there were no objections, and pygame is already slated to be kicked
out of testing, plus given that pygame 2 is advertised as largely backward compatible, I went and did a cursory check on most of pygame's rdeps and
found they seemed to work fine with pygame 2. I just went ahead and
uploaded the new pygame. Let me know if anyone notices any problems.
