Only because the core dev team is making it their priority to move distros over to 3. It won't make any difference, the strength of Python is in the library support, not the distro support. 2.x support by libraries will last a very long time, nothing worth its salt will be dropping it. By the time they do, Python3 and wherever it is by that point will be unrecognizable to the original release of Python 3.0.
