Thomas was suggesting switching nightly builds to python 3 which means
no wxpython even on platforms where this still works (osx and windows).
 All I was suggesting is that we keep nightly builds as is on platforms
where wxpython with python 2 still works. It doesn't matter for
platforms where wxpython doesn't work so we can provide packages for
both configurations for users rather then pull the plug on wxpython2.

Has anyone been able get phoenix to build on msys2? I haven't tried it
in a while. This is critical to be able to support phoenix on windows.
