Yes; I noticed that too.  At some point in the history it gets removed;
I think it had to be that way to be able to merge both SVN histories as
one.

Right.  We'll want to cut a proper release I think and take care of
these things.  The python3-port branch is already used in Guix; I had
made sure it works at least as well as the old Python 2 code base.

I suggest we wait a bit to see what Bill thinks about their progress on
(much welcome!) UI improvements.  If they are satisfied and development
reaches some milestone soon, we could test it, merge it to master
(deleting the now obsolete python3-port branch) and release from master.

How does that sound?

Thanks,

Maxim
