Why the logo was replaced to a PNG with the name under the logo? I found there are plenty of variations on Commons: There are also logos of XBMC. I think it should be displayed here. Here's a vector version, File:XBMC Logo.svg. Taken from the categories, commons:Category:Kodi and commons:Category:XBMC Media Center. Galzigler (talk) 22:52, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

What is the objection to discussing the discontinuation of Python 2 support, which kills many plugins?
What is the objection to discussing the discontinuation of Python 2 support, which kills many plugins?

Kodi 19, "Matrix", discontinued support for the outdated Python 2 scripting language, moving to Python 3; this had the side-effect of making add-ons dependent upon Python 2 incompatible. Most unauthorized add-ons became unusable unless they were updated.

 * Python 2 was superseded more than a decade ago, and had been on bug-fix only support for the last several years. It's officially dead now; it is not surprising that Kodi does not support a level of Python that is not supported.
 * If it must be mentioned, which I think is unnecessary, I can see replacing "Python" with "Python 3" in the section on Python scripts. It's absolutely not lede-worthy. In an article the size of this one, the detail of an obsolete level software being treated as obsolete does not ride to the level of being covered in the lede.
 * The proposed text indicated a specific Python level, 3.6, that is not supported by the source (which source, by the way, is not independent of the subject; not that big a deal for a matter like this, but an independent source, if one exists, would be preferred), so that level of unsupported specificity should not be there at all.
 * So, if anyone else agrees with you I won't object to adding the digit "3" in the appropriate portion of the body. TJRC (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've watched the back-and forth, and think I cleaned-up the initial edit, but do agree, it's not necessary in the lede. Moreover, it's classic WP:RECENTISM, and when I saw it I also thought that it should be excluded per WP:NOTNEWS, but there is already a lot of that sort of thing here so did not bother. I have no problems with excluding it though. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:40, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The reason that I think this is notable (which I still do) is that the actual effect of discontinuing support for Python 2 is that most of the huge number of unauthorised add-ons which have been the cause of contention are disabled at one fell swoop, a "side-effect" which is likely to be desired. Stopping Python 2 support is, in itself, not notable, I quite agree. Pol098 (talk) 14:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Show reliable sources that support your claim. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
