Nice post, but it's missing one thing.

The main benefit of Python 3 for Joe Q. Scripter is this:

The Python team doesn't have to spend any effort on maintaining a lot
of old obsolete cruft, and can devote that time to fixing bugs and
maintaining useful stuff instead.

So they will benefit even if they don't actually use new features.
