I also vote for keeping compatibility with both 2.7 and 3.x (x >=3) for the
next couple of LyX versions:

* There are still a lot of installations, where
  2.7 (or older) is the default Python version.
  
* As we can have one common source for both major versions, the added burden
  is managable.
  
I am also willing to help, if required.
