I also changed for most of my projects, but I can live with Mercurial sticking 
to 2.x a bit longer. 

I play with using it from Python for a wiki from time to time, though, and 
there not running in py3 can hurt (in py3 unicode handling is much nicer than 
in py2).

If you remember my hg for servers evaluation¹, you’ll know the speed difference 
you get by just exchanging dispatch for commit.commit()…

the page.
