Yes, it will resemble the 2to3 scenario. Corporations that pledge support will mechanically convert some projects (pestering the actual developers or threaten with forks?), bugs will be ironed out by the actual, unpaid developers over years.

But apparently Python needs some "success" and this makes a good bullet point. Correctness does not really matter in the Python world.
