==================================
Goal (notsure?): for v11 to provide an alpha/beta Python 3 compatibility, for
v12 to provide official Python 3 support and drop Python 2 in either v12 or
v13.
Official compatibility: Odoo 11 will be the first LTS release to introduce
Python 3 compatibility, starting with Python 3.5. It will also be the first
LTS release to drop official support for Python 2.
