Let me try, based on my understanding of the conversation: whatever the technical changes / progress in migration are (and the actual migration can of course technically be staged over time), we can only have a public announcement (and PR) that “Python 3 is now the default” once.  We do have some flexibility in what that announcement means, but it should be enough so that we will never need to follow up with a “Python 3 is now really the default, trust us this time” Change/announcement.

FESCo felt that not “enough” has been ported yet (in particular that the default install will not be ported by F22, and that Anaconda is unlikely to make it), hence postponing the Change / announcement aspct.
