I'm sure he's thinking that way for himself.  To be fair, though, as
he describes it, Ian is evidently not the boss in the commercial
projects he's talking about projects.  He needs to convince others
that Python 3 is a practical solution to their problems.

This makes the idea of lobbying for Python a real enthusiasm drainer.
I'm still all for it, but we should recognize the social aspects as
well as the technical issues.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what, if anything, we can do to help
support developers like Ian who can't impose Python 3 -- but rather
has to expend personal energy and reputation in lobbying.
