I have a concern about bloating @core and by extension the cloud image.
Right now, python is about 5% of the total on-disk usage. I'd hate to see
that go to 10%. Therefore, I'd like to see a goal of making the transition
for usage in the base cloud image go entirely from python2 to python3 in 
one release cycle.

(Roughly, that's @core + cloud-init, which isn't currently on your list.)
