Addressing the key remaining barriers to migration for existing Python 2 users would be an excellent objective to attain before we end upstream support for Python 2.7, but it's one that would be better addressed by a slightly shorter dev cycle than normal for 3.5 than it would be by falling into the "just one more feature" trap for Python 3.4.

I was thinking about that myself. If we said in advance what features we were shooting for, and it wasn't overly ambitious, we could do a release in six months. No problem.

Do we know of any (other) big projects waiting to happen for 3.5?

And has a consensus about byte formatting really coalesced that quickly?
