You emphatically say you would "like" to use Python3, but describe those who already have as having drunk the Koolaid. Comparing those who can and have successfully moved to Python3 with the Jonestown cult mass-suicide doesn't really strike me as a sign that you want to join them.

I have read the expression "drinking the Koolaid" more than once but I didn't know it related to a mass-suicide at all. It changes my comprehension of it quite a bit...
