Wrt. to the 3.x migration rate: I think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Migration rate will certainly increase once we announce an end of 2.7, and then again when the end is actually reached.
Well... People are in general *stuck* on Python 2. They are not staying because they want to. So I'm not so sure migration rate will increase because an end is announced or reached.
I assume you say that because people rely on libraries that haven't been ported (correct me if there are other reasons to be stuck).
I'm stuck because I can't tell my users "oh, we didn't improve pypy for the last year/6 months/3 months, because we were busy upgrading sources you'll never see to python 3"
Why not? It's not like many people *see* PyPy's sources ever in their life, but my guess is that most of your users will eventually end up *using* those upgraded sources anyway. So those upgrades will also be an improvement for most of them. Stefan
