First off, unless you have a lot of information I don't, there's no reason at all to believe that Python3's adoption will be linear- if anything it seems very likely to be a power law curve, just like the adoption trends we see for other software projects.

Just a correction, I'm predicting that Python3's adoption will be exponential and that it's popularity relative to other software projects will move up according to a power law curve, not that it's overall adoption will be power law.

Thanks for pointing this out, Titus.
