Anthony you are right about the scaffolding, But currently, web2py renders 
forms with formstyle="bootstrap" which have css classes not used anymore in 
bs3. Therefore we should use jquery to adapt the rendered html but we could 
see heavy flash of unstyled content phenomenon. Another way is to use the 
server DOM manipulation in the controller or in the view or lastly modify 
the web2py code but the latter way infringes the backward compatibility if 
someone want build application working also on unsupported browsers by 
using bs2. I'm testing bs3 since rc1 on web2py and this is my conclusion 
but I could be wrong.
