Ahh ... then you have never been a part of maintaining a large software 
project :-)

You will have older subsystems that works well, where the author is no 
longer part of the project. Who is going to rewrite those?

Then there is the problem of all the third party libraries you use in 
your own project. Who is going to rewrite those? Especially if they aim 
to stay at Python 2.x

Rewriting your own code is "trivial", but as soon as you depend on 
someone else it will get difficult.
