I suspect, but have no experimental (or even theoretical) evidence – it
is just a hunch – that it might be hard to merge the python3-port
branch in my repository into mainline if the python3-port branch in the
mainline is closed.

If we are all agreed that now is a reasonably time to merge the Python
3 effort into the mainline default, I can merge my python3-port branch
into my default and close python3-port locally. This would allow the
python3-port branch in mainline to be closed with no consequences – as
far as I know.

The only threat to this course of action is if there is more effort on
mainline's default that needs merging before the grand python3-port
merge.
 
I am speaking from a position of relative Mercurial ignorance, so I may
be wrong…
