Correct, and as far as I know that's the plan of record. As Greg said,
we're not going to convert all the code in the tree to run under Python
3 immediately, and we will likely have some laggards that stay on Python
2 for a while. We do have folks working on making the in-tree Python
code Python 3 compatible (thanks ahal for leading that effort!), so
hopefully we could get to a point where Python 3 is used for most things
but it's a fair amount of work.
We'd simply like to have Python 3 available for some code that would
benefit from its faster execution speed and things like asyncio. Greg
floated the idea of doing moz.build evaluation in Python 3 last week,
which seems like a great candidate.
