While we are on that topic, the Calibre maintainer can be (said
lovingly) stubborn about some things. On a related topic, Calibre (to my
knowledge) is going to remain on python2 forever at his choice because
of a political disagreement with python3.

Correctness aside, that might have some impact on our upcoming "Great
Python 2 Purge".
