Fabric was for a long time held back by its dependency on the Paramiko
library. But that library is now Python 3 compatible, and Fabric is
moving steadily in the direction of Python 3 support.

The latest is a change in the documentation to explicitly remove the
last dependency hurdle <URL:https://github.com/fabric/fabric/pull/1137>.

Now the only blockers are internal; Fabric 2.0 is AFAICT going to be the
Python 3 compatible version of Fabric, and it is coming along well.
