Shimming in with more of an operators view; since a lot of services are
deployed with wsgi in a webserver, mainly a lot of API services, having
a coordinated approach of moving
all those services over to py3 at the same time is appreciated.
Otherwise a lot of the services cannot be co-located on the same machine
and will probably break other projects, for example the Puppet modules.
Same goes for testing all those services in a single node CI test.
