Hopefully by the time we actually *do* need to roll out 4.0, six will be dead, or at least its Python 2 support will be gone. And whatever is needed to make the upgrade smooth for people should be in in the 4.0 release, not a 3rd party library.

It has been discussed a few months ago. There is the "if six.PY3: ..."
issue and similar issues which should be solved first. Basic example:

$ python3
Python 3.7.5 (default, Oct 17 2019, 12:16:48)
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version_info = (4,0)
>>> import six
Traceback (most recent call last):
