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.

Thanks, that makes sense. Some questions:
- What if Anaconda does make it? :)
- What is "enough"? It's possible that two or three packages may be still
unported even in F23 (and as for server livecd in F23, I think there will be few more).
- So is it ok if I file bugs for all components that I know are upstream-compatible with
Python 3 (bugs to get them switched, I mean)?
