As for the potentially harmful text on Python 3 which is included on
the python-commandments website I do get the hint that it might not be
clear enough that the text does not apply to people who are porting
libraries.

It also doesn't apply to people who don't need unported libraries, eg, where the task is plain old text filtering or command line scripting. Don't ask me for the list of "unported libraries", I know of none from personal experience.

You might also want to withdraw the claim that Python 2.x is actively developed. With the release of 2.7, that's not true any more, not in the sense that most people think of "actively developed."
