The Python core developers are not against you. Your case is perfectly valid and understood. The core developers do, however, try to prepare the ground that will make it possible even for projects like yours to eventually make the move. It is hoped that in some time most popular libraries will have Python 3 versions, and many Linux distributions will come with Python 3 pre-installed (Ubuntu is making good steps in this direction). Eventually, a time will come when it will make sense for you to make the switch. We just hope it won't be too long.
All along, Python 2.7 is going to be maintained and bugs are going to be fixed. It is perfectly understood that the 2.x branch is currently by far the more used and deployed, and there's no plans to abandon it in terms of support. It just won't get new features.
