The point is to accurately communicate the status rather than try to hit an arbitrary measure. So, if you are confident that the level of test coverage under python 3 is good, then go ahead and update the wiki to reflect that.

That leaves test_neutronv2.py as the only remaining file using mox3.

That sounds like a reasonable approach. I think I remember something about that when the mox goal was proposed, so it’s not a surprise.
