> But, after the initial pain of the 2.7->3.0 transition, I doubt we'll ever see another major version number jump, even if a logical use of version numbers would merit it.
Do you think the transition would have been less painful if 3.0 had been called 2.8?
If Python 2.8 had come out and failed to run almost all code written for Python 2.7 then that probably would have been truly disastrous for the language.
