> My current expectation is that Python 4.0 will merely be "the release that comes after Python 3.9". That's it. What? If that's the idea, don't be stupid and just call it Python 3.10 then. Otherwise, won't we risk a completely unnecessary major versioning problem as outlined in this very article?? Sometimes it feels like the Python team wants to change the major version number only to teach the development community a lesson about coding libraries right, not because they have to. This kind of masochistic idea of deciding version numbers, if it's there, needs to go since this lesson will never be learnt by each and everyone due to the immense size of the community. And if there is a support issue in some libraries, the ripple effect can and will affect other projects as well.
