To be quite honest, no, I am not comfortable with it. But I *am* comfortable with expecting Python programmers to program in Python, and thus deeming that breakage as a result of user code being migrated from Py2 to Py3 is to be fixed by the user. You can mess around with map(), but there are plenty of other things you can't mess with, so I don't see why this one thing should be Sage's problem.
