I don't see any gain in delaying the stabilization except that
people who decide they don't have resources to spare for python3
will have more time before they need to mask it locally. This subset
of people probably won't change much whether it's stabilized now or
a year from now. So, it's mostly a question of whether these people
need to mask in now or mask it later.
