That would depend on the individual packages and their maintainers.

concerted/coordinated effort to port third-party libraries to 3.0.

Yes, that's basically the state of things at the moment. We're in a
transitional phase while people port everything to Python 3.0 and/or
wait for the libraries they require to be ported to 3.0.
