Wrt. to the 3.x migration rate: I think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Migration rate will certainly increase once we announce an end of 2.7, and then again when the end is actually reached.
Well... People are in general stuck on Python 2. They are not staying because they want to. So I'm not so sure migration rate will increase because an end is announced or reached. I assume you say that because people rely on libraries that haven't been ported (correct me if there are other reasons to be stuck). I'm stuck because I can't tell my users "oh, we didn't improve pypy for the last year/6 months/3 months, because we were busy upgrading sources you'll never see to python 3"
Why not? It's not like many people see PyPy's sources ever in their life, but my guess is that most of your users will eventually end up using those upgraded sources anyway. So those upgrades will also be an improvement for most of them.
