Catching up on my python-dev email, I just want to clarify this with respect to email. (1) I suspect that the new API will be enough of a carrot that they won't mind converting to it, BUT, (2) the plan is to provide a compatibility API that will fully support the current Python3 email5 API (but with fewer bugs in areas such as header folding and unfolding). -- R.
