          It’s still a draft, but that’s just a weirdly unnecessary change, IMO. There is no need from anyone to have the versions shift by 11 versions.

            The response at PyCon and EuroPython was pretty favorable, and a lot of core devs seem into it. This is definitely gonna happen unless something big comes up.

            There was still a bit of discussion about the exact form (3.26 vs 3.2026 etc), but that is handled and I expect it to be on the standards track soon.

      That’s such a stupid change. TIL, though. Thanks for the heads up!
