If this can encourage more projects to support Python 3 (even if it's only 3.3 and later) and hence improve adoption of Python 3, I'm all for it.

+1 from me for the same reasons. Just to be clear, I'm solidly +1 on anything we can do to increase the pace of Python 3 migration.

I find this rationale a bit sad: it's not that there is any (IMO) good technical reason for the feature - only that people "hate" the many available alternatives for some reason.

But then, practicality beats purity, so be it.
