I'm a qualified engineer (in computer systems engineering), so caring about environmental sustainability is part of my professional ethical standards, not just a matter of personal preference: http://www.wfeo.org/ethics/ Given the power draw of large data centres, the environmental impact of performance improvements to the Python 2 series is a point well worth considering.
