I'm not a core dev so I don't really have a dog in this fight (except that I do like python 3 the language), but: in the interests of having a more productive discussion, can you elaborate on what specifically you found frustrating about that link? It seems to be a page of people talking in a measured way about the trade offs between python 2 and python 3\. It looked to me like probably the majority opinion expressed was that for the poster's personal uses python 3 was superior for specific reasons that they described, but people generally seemed very respectful and open to the possibility that their experience wasn't universal. Your email had me expecting something very different, so I'm wondering what I'm missing.
