I am still of the mind that telling users python3 is here is
sufficient.  Users should already know how to mask packages; I am
unconvinced that this update is any different from any other update
where I get a news item that foo is out; I don't want to use foo, so I
mask foo.

If you want to recommend masking python 3 yourself I suggest you blog about=
 it.
