Is it legit to claim to support windows if you only support XP? It's disingenuous. At the least mention the version number in the claim if it's that important

  At least anyone who has Python 3 installed is likely to also have Python 2.

  I think you'd get a more apt analogy if you were to back up a few years, to the late 1990s: At that time, was it legitimate to claim you support Windows if you only support Win9x and not WinNT? Don't get confused by version numbers. Yes, Python 3's got a bigger major number, but for now that is nothing more than a reflection of Python's ambitions. The reality is that Python's currently in a period of transition, and during the course of that transition the Python name will have to be shared by two separate-but-related software products.
