All the talk has felt like giving up right before the finish line to me; it seems like migration was chugging along and then there was this huge backlash just before every distro made 3 the default, which would basically have been mission accomplished. Arch and to a certain extent gentoo were already there. And then suddenly, after quietly going along with it for 5+ years, everyone wanted to throw their toys out of the pram rather than do a little bit more. It's enough to make one think of conspiracies.

As far as I can see, python 3 is there now; it's the default on my servers, all the libraries support it, and it's a nicer language to program in. And just as that became true, everyone started losing their minds.
