My experience with Python is probably closer to nicoco's than wakeupcall's (usually pretty painless), but I tend to prefer the Java approach. Waiting three releases for removal gives you four years of support and seven years of security fixes. That isn't unreasonable but feels a little too fast in a language as old as Python (especially with people still burned from Python 3).
