Dependencies, for one.  Psycopg2 and MySQLdb do not officially support
Python 3 yet, so the only backends available out of the box would be
oracle and sqlite3.  Also PIL has not been ported, so ImageFields
would be unusable.

More importantly, the core devs don't want to have to support Python
2.4/2.5 and Python 3 simultaneously.  Hence the suggested plan to
begin officially supporting Python 3 once support for 2.5 has been
deprecated.

No.
