The migration as a whole has been painful.
It's been 14 years and dropping python2 is still controversial.
It's a story of how not to do a major language upgrade.
It's not quite as bad as "Perl 6" which killed off the whole language, but it's up there with massive mistakes which has cost the industry dearly.
