Python 3 support is certainly a goal that *all* OpenStack projects
should be aiming for.  However, for Nova, I don't think Nova's code is
actually our biggest hurdle.  The hardest parts are dependencies that we
have that don't support Python 3.  A big example is eventlet.  We're so
far off that I don't even think a CI job is useful yet.
