  Hopefully, sure. But why should we believe that this time is different?

    The main difference now is there is an actual standard rather than a de facto tool that becomes the standard. The idea is that different tools may rise and fall in popularity but they should all be following the standard so the compatability breaks should be minimal. Will it work? No idea, but it's the best attempt to make things work well for everyone yet. Python 3.12 might be the biggest churn moment, but there are probably a few more down the road, such as dropping legacy version specifiers.
