Pass the ketchup, I need to eat my words. I wrote:
The loyal opposition clearly intend to continue trash-talking Python 3 until the libraries get to 100% (or a government-approved approximation of 100%). The topic on #python seems unlikely to change at this point, with both Glyph and JP pointedly failing to denounce it publicly, while Stephen defends it and says it's not going to change as long as the libraries aren't done.
It would seem from posts I received after replying (local mail glitch, should have know there was more coming :-( ) that the facts are that the topic is quite likely to change soonish, and that "trash-talking" is being done, if at all, by trolls. (Having spent a few hours on #python today, I see that's a lot more possible than I would have believed in this community. Nobody's immune.) Glyph, JP, and Stephen have my personal apologies.
