How deep is the six dependency? For every package I've ported to date, it has ended up being more sensible to implement a local '_compat' module which had only the needed straddles (sometimes inspired by six, sometimes very localized).
I can see why this might be sensible in the small, or for packages that really have to minimize dependencies (like buildout), but in the large, this sounds like a huge DRY violation. If we all adopt a 2&3 strategy, then six should be a given and not even count as a dependency.
