If that happens, it's not true that there's *nowhere* to go. A

from the
last 2.x release. And from there, features can be deprecated and then
removed a few releases later, as is the usual policy.
Been there, done that, on a couple other projects. It's unfortunate
when you
have to throw out work you've done because it failed to gain
traction over
the thing you tried to replace, but sometimes that's life.
I'm not ready for that yet. I think there's plenty of time before we
have to agree to such a bleak view. In the mean time let's do
something practical like help NumPy port to Py3k.
Or, for example, Django...
