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).

Also, do your branches still pass tests on 3.2.x?  I'm sort of keen to
see both zope.schema and zope.configuration join the "2to3-free" camp
with zope.event, zope.interface, zope.i18nmessageid, and zope.exceptions
(yes, zope.configuration, I'm looking at you next).
