They made a new version which is highly indicative of breaking changes if not the entire meaning behind bumping the version. What's the problem? I think it's bold of you to rag on volunteers for a supposed botched upgrade, whatever, but I don't know anyone writing python 2 today?

Plenty of people are writing Python 3 today, too, but because things like this proposal seem reasonable, and things like removing cgitb and asyncore are actually happening, most of them will regret it eventually. Sometimes volunteers screw up, and sometimes they have dysfunctional social dynamics that hurt people.
