It only going to see more adoption now that Ubuntu has switched the
default Python to 3.x since xenial.

The Debian Python Policy also documents the use of Python 3 for programs
when they support it, and recommend to not package them for Python 2.
Libraries should always be packaged for Python 3, and when applications
only support Python 2 should the library be packaged for Python 2 as well.

With QGIS 3 switching to Python 3, adoption in the geospatial ecosystem
will be pushed forward too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
