In my opinion "sending a message" is a quite a big result. Currently even developers of new apps sometimes consider using Python 2 because it "works out of the box everywhere" unlike Python 3 (which may not be present on some old distros). If we ship LTS with Python 3 only, this will be no longer the case. I.e. it will make the world moving to Python 3 a bit faster. And the earlier the world moves to Python 3, the earlier we will be able to reduce/drop support for Python 2. -- Dmitry Shachnev
