I am still of the mind that telling users python3 is here is sufficient. Users should already know how to mask packages; I am unconvinced that this update is any different from any other update where I get a news item that foo is out; I don't want to use foo, so I mask foo. If you want to recommend masking python 3 yourself I suggest you blog about it. -A
