 clean up the code and upgrade it to an appropriate quality for Mercurial core.
 
+Python 3 support
+================
+
+Mercurial announced beta support for Python 3 starting with its 5.0 release.
+Since 9.1.0, ``evolve`` has beta support for Python 3.6+.
+
+Support will stay in beta while Mercurial's support for Python 3 remains in
+beta and until it is a bit more battle-tested.
