  First, sorry for the noise I caused, I accidentally pushed this change to `hg-committed` (which was a problem in itself), which triggered a "bug" (arguably a feature) in the landing process. I pruned my change and I can re-submit it later.

It's nice having the GUI, and I hope someone picks it up, but I'm not willing to have hg tied to supporting Python 2 forever on the off chance that someone will modernize tortoisehg some day.
  
  I completely understand your point. In fact I share the same opinion, but what changed my mind is the pretty solid lead we have to have this fixed by competent people before the end of the 6.1 cycle. Knowing this, I'm more inclined to wait on this concrete thing that the previous yearning as you put it.
  
  I think thg is quite important to the ecosystem and especially for Windows users, we would probably be dropping a lot of them.
