Except the community really can't and live to tell anyone about it (aside from a fringe fork), because the Python Foundation won't let them use the Python name for the fork, even though a fork is in every other way open source and labeled for maintenance purposes only.
Anyone who's every ported a very large project from 2 to 3 might end up despising the PSF for this purpose and might tend to search for a new language (Nim? Go? JS? Scala?
Ruby?!). So much for the B in BDFL..
