The main thing holding back the community are lazy and/or obstinate

complaining about
Py3 into actually working to upgrade their code they'd be done now.
One thing you could do is explain (do you have a blog?) how Py3 is a
massive
improvement for you as a developer and package maintainer.
We core developers obviously agree that py3k is better than 2.x, but
the same
opinion coming from a third-party developer would carry a different
weight.
Maybe I haven't been looking, but has anyone collected the "Here's why
3.x is better and here's how it saved my bacon on project XYZ" stories?
