Good news. They have another 5-6 years to recognize their mistake and cut Python 3 loose from Python, like Perl did with Perl 6. It's interesting how the same underlying mistake manifests itself in different cultures: Perl 6 was "we'll break all your code, but give you gonzo new features that we hope are useful." Python 3 was "we'll break all your code, but soothe some pedants and browbeat you into accepting the result."
