I think he is right with that worry to some degree. For example
hgsubversion was also working very well, but it didn’t get ported to
python3 as far as I can tell, so it’s currently non-operational (please
correct me if I’m wrong!)

That Python3 transition caused a ton of breakage in extensions. One that
I maintain could only be recovered in the past year (infocalypse).

Best wishes,
Arne
