I really don't get this. I was over the log and didn't find a compelling
argument as to why this should be postponed. Can someone sum the arguments
up, please?
Let me try, based on my understanding of the conversation: whatever the technical changes
/ progress in migration are (and the actual migration can of course technically be staged
over time), we can only have a public announcement (and PR) that “Python 3 is now the
default” once. We do have some flexibility in what that announcement means, but it should
be enough so that we will never need to follow up with a “Python 3 is now really the
default, trust us this time” Change/announcement.
FESCo felt that not “enough” has been ported yet (in particular that the default install
will not be ported by F22, and that Anaconda is unlikely to make it), hence postponing the
Change / announcement aspct.
