That's actually one of the better write-ups I've seen regarding
several of the key benefits of the Python 3 transition. They're easy
to lose sight of when discussing the topic with the existing
developers that are bearing the cost of converting their code due to
changes that were made primarily for the benefit of new users.

Cheers,
