Because 'stable' denotes that it works as intended, that it can be |

installed easily, etc. All of these are true now for python3. There |
| 6 |
are applications being written for it. We want to package those too. |

I'm fine with people masking it, and maybe we should make that easier |
| 8 |
somehow, but 3.x should definitely be stable. |

It will *NOT* under this proposal be the default. Please formulate |

more carefully if you want to make an argument. |
