Wasn’t python3 a breaking change that pedantically replaced print with print() breaking every pre-existing python file requiring it to be reworked before it would function? Seems like calling python 2.x python and 3.x python3 was the correct decision and saying “this is final” is also correct.
Your point about project owners having final word is well taken, but in this case possibly also objectively correct.
