I'm one of them so I'm a bit biased, but I'd say the biggest argument
is that it's not set in stone (I'm trying to fix it and the regulars
have been nothing but cooperative). Nobody from the #python people
realized this was a huge thing for people up until today. It's been up
there for a long time, and it's becoming less and less defensible
every passing day (and that's a good thing!), so we're basically
debating what ought to change and when. It's not really a matter of
disliking, it's more of a matter of "um, it's still up there because
nobody thought it had to go" :-)

FWIW: I think a separate #python3 channel would be a really bad idea.

thanks
Laurens
