I do not think this is a useful expenditure of developer time. There's |
| 11 |
absolutely no hurry to start using Python 3 since 99.9% of upstreams |
| 12 |
do not have officially supported ports yet. We can revisit this when |
| 13 |
the upstreams of half the packages in-tree start using Python 3 by |
| 14 |
default (this will probably take more than a year). |
