But if 2.6 breaks lots of code too, making it the default could be
problematic.  Does it have a 'behave like python < 2.6' flag?  If so,
then that could work too.

Yah, from what I read, there isn't a huge uptake of 3k yet...there
should be lots of time to see how this shapes up and make a good
decision when the time comes.
