Karoly, 1) Massimo had already mention that web2py will be supported by the core team. You should know that core team much more involve in the maintenance and enhancement of web2py lately than Massimo is. I am rely confident in the maintenance of web2py for a fading out period if web3py will get traction. If web3py don't get traction, I am pretty sure that web2py will still continue to have a large user base and good core team to at least keep thing working.
2) Only Massimo can answer that, but I am confident that it will consider this aspect, clear and easy path to transition from w2p to w3p... So there should be a simple way to refactor your app to migrate it to web3py. But web3py will brake backward compatibility, so you have to expect to have major refactoring to do what exactly will be known when the time comes.
