I am pretty sure that a large majority of people learning Python for the 
first time with Python 3 would prefer this.  If Python3 is as successful as 
we might hope, new Pythoneers will become the majority.

Perhaps for some, but I would expect that docs cluttered with 'New/changed 
in 3.0' to be just as confusing for others.  Perhaps we need two versions 
of the docs: a Python x.y set and a Python forever set.
