Would it be reasonable to request a 10 year moratorium on making changes
to the core Python language,
and for the next 10 years only focus on things that do not require core
language changes,
such as improving/bugfixing existing libraries, writing new libraries,
improving tooling, improving infrastructure (PyPI),
improving performance, etc., etc.?
There are still many companies still stuck on Python 2, so giving 10
years of breathing room
for these companies to catch up to Python 3 core language, even past
2020 would be very helpful.

I don't see how a 10 year moratorium will help those still on Python 2,
given that Python 2.7 has been around for almost 8 years already, by
2020 it will have been 10 years, and it was made clear that it would be
the last in the Python 2 line.
