That's a fairly decent write-up in my opinion. As Laurens pointed, it trends towards the "use Python 3 if you can, Python 2 if you need to" point of view, which I personally think is the right spin to be putting on this issue, but obviously opinions will vary on that front. About the only specific wording tweak I would suggest is that "little regard for backwards compatibility" should be phrased as "less regard for backwards compatibility". There were still quite a few ideas we rejected as gratuitously incompatible, even for Py3k (the eventual decision to retain old-style string formatting comes to mind).
