That doesn't mean we have to have a transition plan now. Creating one after Python 3.5 is released (i.e. in 2015 or so) might be sufficient.
To create a transition plan, you first need consensus that you actually do want to transition. I don't think such consensus is available, and might not be available for a few more years. Pushing the issue probably delays obtaining consensus.
Agreed, but that doesn't rule out discussions of what can be done to make such a transition easier. And just as 2to3 makes the overall Python transition practical, a percent to brace format translator should make an eventual formatting transition feasible.
Cheers, Nick.
