FWIW, my optimisim is *not* waning. I think it's good that we're
having this discussion and I expect something useful will come out of
it; I also expect in general that the (admittedly serious) problem of
having to port all dependencies will be solved in the next few years.
Not by magic, but because many people are taking small steps in the
right direction, and there will be light eventually. In the mean time
I don't blame anyone for sticking with 2.x or being too busy to help
port stuff to 3.x. Python 3 has been a long time in the making -- it
will be a bit longer still, which was expected.
