It kind of seems obvious to me that nobody in the TC is going to object
to any effort bringing compatibility to Python 3. :-) I bless that and
would love to help going into this direction actually.

All project should go to Python 3 at some point, but it seems logical to
start by every dependency like Oslo, and as discussed during the Python
3 session at the summit, starting with client libraries is going to be
easier than porting whole projects. We're probably years from that
concerning projects like Nova for example.
Considering this timeframe, targetting latest Python 3 releases is going
to be largely good enough.

And concerning gating, I can't see any objection as long as everything
is automatized.
