With my FESCo hat on:

Yes, what we meant was that the page *as written* didn't look achievable
for Fedora 23. I can't speak for all of FESCo, but if you wanted to
revise that change as "Fedora 22 Python 3 Migration Improvements" (or
"progress", etc.) and revise the expectations, I'd have no problems with
that. Or with approving it late, since effectively FESCo did send it
back for revisions after it was submitted.
