[yt-dev] Near-term maintenance goals

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Mike,

Thank you!  As of this evening, Jill, Kacper and I have a pull request that
claims to pass all the tests for 2.7 and 3.4.  If you could have a shot at
that (bookmark "python3" in my repo) that would be very helpful!

After doing all of this, I'm thinking we should aim for a unified codebase
for 2/3 in the near future.

-Matt
