For the record, python3-fissix is a backport of the latest available
2to3, not a fork.  I communicated with upstream about its future a
couple of years ago, and the long-term plan at that time was that fissix
would either:

  1. Cease to exist when 2to3 was eventually dropped (both were planned
  even back then), or else
  2. Possibly migrate to something else but maintain legacy interfaces
  3. Someone else actually forks 2to3 from Python 3.12, and fissix
  begins to depend on that fork.

Has anyone heard anything about the second or third cases?

Nicholas
