It is though now seriously out of date, and not being worked on by
people doing things, just talked about by people like me hoping things.

I am for this idea. Keep a set of Python 2.7 buildbots which must always
be green and a set of Python 3.4 buildbots on the same codebase which we
try and get green a quickly as possible. I think the experiment with two
long-lived branches has proven ineffective. I am very much for a single
code base that always work on 2.7 and moves to be working on 3.4.
