> Sometimes semantics changes in breaking ways, or new reserved words crop up, etc. etc.

Examples?

I know this specific example because it was one of a handful of reasons that delayed my workplace from upgrading past Python 3.5 (I think) for quite a while because of the addition of the reserved word `async`.

Can't speak to what GP was alluding to re: breaking semantic changes.
