+1 on Anthony and on the fact that having some pretty "maintained-out-of-band kickass layouts" is somewhat missing in web2py. I'm waiting on the final release to test bs3, but for example the structure of response.menu has been definitely a PITA to work with bs2 and it's going to be even more PITA on bs3. It's true that welcome hasn't hard constraint, but its also true that probably users will have to rethink to their menu structure before switching to bs3. This is somewhat a "conflict" between what has always been a nested structure in web2py (historical superfish handled it perfectly) and the new "flatty" layouts that favour a streamlined-flatty menu structure, mainly because responsive templates had always some issues displaying them (of course, this is not strictly a bs3 issue, but more of a new "design fashion"). Again, some examples on how to maintain submenus in bs3 are yet on the interwebs (http://bootply.com/71520), but lets put this in kind words.... don't expect to switch the layout from bs2 to bs3 to get instant adaptation.
