[yt-dev] Reason, PlotCollection and yt-3.0

I'm +0 on both of these, but if we are to remove either, as John points
out, now seems like a good time before yt goes gold with 3.0.

It seems like some people continue to use PlotCollection for things in 2.x.
 Are there any use cases that are left uncovered by replacements?

I figured reason was going to be replaced by something else wholesale with
ipython, but I'm open to either option really.
