If I understand it correctly, there are two third-party extensions in
use (defpath and trees) + one hook (jcheck). All developed by Oracle.

Does Oracle have a plan for porting these Mercurial extensions to Python
3? What is the current status?

n.b. Python 2 sunset was announced in 2008 (and in 2014 the sunset was
postponed from 2015 to 2020) which is long ago before current
discussions/JEPs.
