It's almost as if there's a Linux Cabal[*] dividing and conquering! We pushed hard for the 3.5 migration in the very soon to be released Ubuntu 15.10, found, fixed, and forwarded lots of bugs, and feel pretty good about the state of Python 3.5. Yes, there's a long tail and some difficult packages, but a lot got fixed both in Debuntu and upstream. That'll continue but I'm planning for the bulk of our next cycle to be Python 3 by default and dropping 3.4. As for Debian, which is release-when-ready, I'd also like us to be Python 3 by default and 3.5 only. The 3.5 transition is just starting over there (mostly rebuilds since Ubuntu diffs have been pushed upstream to Debian wherever possible).
