I'd be concerned about pushing new projects into yet unproven territory.
As great as Python 3 is, there's still lots to be done.
Still a lot of libraries that need to be updated to support 2.x and 3.x.
When you're trying to get work done, of if you're trying to introduce 
people to the pleasure that is Python, it doesn't help when you keep 
hitting walls because a library you absolutely, positively must have is 
not yet ported.

There's lots of excitement about Python 3 and, I think, a fair 
groundswell aimed at supporting it.
I feel confident this transition will take place as Python 3 continues 
to mature.
However, proposing that everyone should be out at the far head of the 
curve is, I think, a good way to sour people on the experience when they 
need to get work done today.
