I don't see any gain in delaying the stabilization except that people who decide they don't have resources to spare for python3 will have more time before they need to mask it locally. This subset of people probably won't change much whether it's stabilized now or a year from now. So, it's mostly a question of whether these people need to mask in now or mask it later. --=20 Thanks, Zac
