Version number is micro, this is a macro question, to wit, the following:

When I converted a perl script to python and saved 50% LOC I didn't know which version of which I was using. Am only vaguely aware of the Python 2.x vs. 3 issues. Never was aware of Perl 5 vs. 6.

When Python and Ruby fade, I look forward to the hand wringing about how version whatever didn't get pushed out fast enough. But that won't be the reason.

But you're not a thousand companies who have built their business on Python 2 and have no interest in rewriting working code when they don't have to. Your "scripts" are pretty much irrelevant.
