This doesn't seem crazy to me, although there was a LOT of hand-tweaking of
code on the current python3 branch: utf8/locale stuff, print stmts, which
in a fair number of cases didn't look like any automation would've caught
them. So if you start again I suspect most of that work will have to be
redone. I spent a couple of days on it, iirc, and I wasn't the only one.
Maybe some of those changes could be cherry-picked over? I suggest skimming
some of my changes on that branch (not the merges, just the by-hand stuff)
to get a sense of what had to be done.
