To explain my thoughts about a separate repo.  One of the important
benefits of python 3 is that it handles Unicode properly in all
strings.  But that may also mean some of the regular expressions in
Asciidoc and in the config files need changing to take advantage of
this.  Also you have changed the configs with the base64 change.

So it would be better to keep Asciidoc Python 2 separate and stable
and Asciidoc Python 3 in its own repo where such changes can be made
without constantly looking over your shoulder to see if it also works
on Python2.

Some distros no longer distribute Python2 by default, so they won't
want to distribute the Asciidoc2 version by default. Having the
Asciidoc3 version in a repo by itself makes that easier.

Finally, then the installer can be modified to put Asciidoc3 config in
a different directory (eg adding a 3 to it) so both versions can be
installed together if needed (for example when someone is porting
customisations).
