For something that's a python3 library I'm thinking there's little
chance it gets installed without python3. The overhead of a stable
update for something that's very unlikely to affect anyone in real life
is not clearly worth it. That may mean we should think of ways to cut
down on that overhead, or that we should ignore more bugs for stable,
I'm not sure.
