I know the Python 3000 project started with the attitude of not having
any backwards compatibility to be able to start at a blank slate. But
since then the compatibility set has increased so far that 3 now could
be an option with very little effort.

3 *should* be an option, as well. Loads of software, in particular the
whole Plone community, which is a significant part of the Python user
base, will struggle very hard if 3 is not an option. But this
discussion *has* been beaten to death. 3 should be an option, and it
is an option, if u'' gets supported.
