The question is really about upstream support.  It could be that the package
will stop functioning on python-3.4,5,6,7, etc.  If the jsmin upstream doesn't
(at least) take patches to fix python3 problems then you'll be stuck generating
fixes for the python3 problems yourself without upstream help.  You'll have to
carry patches in the Fedora package to fix the issues.  At that point, you've
really forked the software and are shipping something different from wat
upstream provides.

It's better to have this out in the open -- find out what upstream intends and
if they aren't taking python3 patches, make it clear that there's two separate
streams now rather than later.
