Quoting Victor Stinner <victor.stinner at gmail.com>:

I think asking developers to make significant modifications to their
code is besides the point of the PEP. However, if they are willing
to make changes, I'd still recommend that they port their code to
Python 3, as that is the better long-term investment.
