It’s _wild_ that so much software is reinventing the Y2K problem after such little time has passed. Yeah I know, 2100 is a long way away. So was the year 2000.
What I find interesting is the "there will be no Python 4". With a language as popular and versatile as Python, it's strange that they've committed to not making another major revision.
I think what they mean is "With the current project direction, as of today, there are no plans to have as major a change as to need to name it Python 4"
The V.YY calendar versioning is nuts. Was it invented by someone who was a child during the Y2K debacle? I mean we're some way off yet but if Python hasn't been replaced by Scala in the late nineties this will fail. What was wrong with semantic versioning?
I dont like seeing trailing zeros after a decimal point. I find it confusing because mathemmatics has thought me that trailing zeros should be ignored.
