Right, python 3 has been around long enough the much of the python world has finally caught up. For those that can't get python 3 they'll just need to use the last QGIS 2.x release a little longer (there are still people running 1.8). Please file a ticket now with OSGeo4w to start preparing to include it, since there will be a time when both python 2 and 3 will be installed side-by-side.
I'll suggest a Google Summer of Code proposal/call for student interns in OSGeo ICA labs for a project on porting plugins to python 3, and/or providing tools to plugin authors to help them port.
