In support of your position, Guido van Rossum has informally implied version “3.10” is feasible for a future Python 3 <URL:https://twitter.com/gvanrossum/status/583346987925278720>. I had thought GvR expressed a distaste for Semantic Versioning but can't find it now. So, yes, my panic is lessened :-) > I predict that when the time comes, it'll generate a gigathread's > worth of discussion, 3 or 4 competing PEPs, and then Guido will just > pronounce. Hopefully, informed by reasoned argument about consequences, more than aesthetic preferences of a small group (I'm still sore about the process evidenced in the Python VCS decisions, so don't wholly trust this will be better). -- \ “With Lisp or Forth, a master programmer has unlimited power | `\ and expressiveness.
