typed_ast is a 3rd party project. But here we are talking about Python stdlib. 
If a project moves from typed_ast to stdlib ast, IMHO it should be quite easy 
to replace 4 with (3, 4), especially if 4 raises an error, no?

IMHO it's a good opportunity to fix it.

I would prefer to not have to batch many backward incompatible changes into 
Python 4...
