My only concern about this is how local developer environments are going to be when it comes to testing. While I am sympathetic to moving to python 3 we need to make sure that all the test harnesses have been moved over and this is something that needs a bit of coordination. Luckily a lot of the mozbase stuff is already moving to python 3 support but that still means we need to have web servers and the actual test runners moved over too.
