Kind of answering myself - I do not see a rush, either. I was just 
positively surprised about Orange and would like many users to share 
that experience with Buster - not two years later.

How deep is the Python Policy wrt package naming set in stone? Wrt to 
the renaming that Andreas suggested - I would be prepared to work 
through renames of matlibtools to matlibtools2 in all those source trees 
that are incompatible with version 3.

Cheers,

Steffen
