I think there will be at least three areas that will make porting a  
challenge:

- - APIs where the semantics have changed instead of being moved,  
renamed, or extended
- - C API changes for extensions and embedded apps
- - Unicode/str/bytes incompatibilities

It's worth spending time thinking about how we can help ease the  
transition for each.  There may be more thing too.  I wonder if it  
doesn't make sense for all 3xxx PEPs to include a discussion section  
on porting.
