Short of a complete code audit, what would it take to identify what
packages need what degree of modifications?
For example, what if we ran 2to3 on a number of the "core" packages that
we consider to be essential to a Fedora system, and see how much really
needs to be done? This might be a nice reality check to see what the
situation really is.
I'm sure we'll find a lot of surprises, good & bad, if someone can
commit to doing it...
Maybe a great start would be on the packages that Ignacio et al (or is
it just him?) have already converted over to 2.6 compatibility...
