I quote:
"...perhaps a brave group of volunteers will stand up and fork Python 2, and
take the incremental steps forward. This will have to remain just an idle
suggestion, as I'm not volunteering myself."
I expect that as excuses for not migrating get fewer, and the deadline for
Python 2.7 end-of-life starts to loom closer, more and more haters^W
Concerned People will whine about the lack of version 2.8 and ask for
*somebody else* to fork Python.
Should the "somebody else" fork Python, in ten (ish) years time the
Concerned People will be complaining that they can't port their code to
Python 4 and will "somebody else" please produce version 2.9.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
