That's overly pessimistic. I'm on the other end of extreme: Wheezy CAN
release with Py3k as default version. There's a lot of porting efforts
going on, and Debian would be heroic to be one of the long term
releases (early 2013 Wheezy release?) to make it happen. Even if
there's just 50% library coverage, that's more than a good enough
reason to switch.
