Making Python 2.8 just seems like a bad idea. It will fracture the userbase even more than it already is, diluting everyone's development efforts. This kind of reminds me of what happened with Unity and Gnome 2. I think making a fork will leave the language in a more confused and messy position; which could kill off the language. This would be terribly unfortunate, considering Python is my favorite language.
