I had to go away for a while, sorry about that. Hopefully I can get on
with this a lot more in the next few days.

As far as I remember we had made the decision to ditch six. Step 1 is
to make the code futurize -1 compliant and run under Python 2.7 then to
decide whether to have the futurize dependency so as to go the whole
Python 3.5 thing. The doubt was that some people didn't want the
futurize dependency.

I believe the idea is that now that the python3 branch is up-to-date
with all default changesets, once 2.5 is released we can merge the
python3 branch into default and then do all work solely on default.
