While I agree that people should have moved on for a while, the idea that porting Python 2 to 3 only involves "find and replace" or a tool like 2to3 is only true in the most trivial cases. Anything that touches bytes, unicode, network or files to do anything remotely involved needs a lot more care. I should know, our codebase still suffers from the occasional bug due to this, even though it's been years.
