This will happen when someone writes a new green thread framework and convinces van Rossum to preside over the corporate-sponsored integration into Python.

Four releases later async will be marketed as "this has been a mistake" and the green threads will be the best thing ever. Thousands of blog posts will be written and everyone has to rewrite their code bases. Repeat for goroutines etc.
