No, I'm implying that mentioning Python 3, 3to2, and 2to3 all together
in a discussion about how to migrate can easily give the false
impression that they're all equally supported by the Python developers.

That 3to2 is *not* supported officially is certainly something I'd want
to know if a Python core developer was recommending it to me to reassure
me about the migration path to Python 3, and I didn't get that
impression from the way it's been casually referenced in this
discussion.
