Thanks, that makes sense. Some questions:
- What if Anaconda does make it? :)
- What is "enough"? It's possible that two or three packages may be still unported even in F23 (and as for server livecd in F23, I think there will be few more).
- So is it ok if I file bugs for all components that I know are upstream-compatible with Python 3 (bugs to get them switched, I mean)?
