Probably not, as you point out.

Yep, and we have a good container story now, so I think that’s entirely viable. 
 There is work being done on Debian packaging for MM3 and I think having 
everything on Python 3 should make that story better too.  (Debian unstable 
does have Python3 Django).

Do we need to worry about current distros?

We're still seeing plenty of questions about new installations of
Mailman 2 on mailman-users.  Mailman 3 is still a double-diamond
application.  As I wrote in a different thread, I don't think Mailman
3 is going to be ready for the mom & pop listowner for a while.  If
versions of Centos (or whatever) don't support Python 3 by then, "let
them run containers". :-)
