One last thought (no need to reply if you disagree).

What if it's all "chicken or the egg" problem?  Maybe the right strategy
is not to hide python 2 from everywhere and start actively promoting
py3k, but to push it gradually?

Start with docs switching to py3k by default.  That shouldn't be harmful
(and I hope that my docs theme patch will be accepted soon).

A bit later, when Django finally adds python 3 support - change python.org
homepage with a more prominent advice to use py3d.  

Etc.

Thanks,
