Aahz already answered this, but I'd like to restate more forcefully:

It is a FUNDAMENTAL PRECONDITION of Py3K that it will BE the existing
CPython codebase, with a few changes and some cruft removed. We are
NOT going to re-write from the ground up. If you don't know why, go
read "http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html".
