Also, everything had to be redocumented and reanswered for python 3. I wouldn't be surprised if people had to look up their issue repeatedly on stack overflow until they finally find help.

Every top answer in python seems to be dating back to 2009 (python 2.1), quite a few are completely broken code nowadays (blame the breaking change in the standard API).

Python 2.1 was from 2001 -- did you mean 2.6.1?

I see answers as far as python 2.1. Assume the linux distributions and the business users were always a few years behind the trunk.

Oh, good point
