Fortunately there may not be any more such cases since no new major

That is a good point. But at least making sure no more API's get
deprecated in 3.3 (and preferably 3.4) would go a long way, as we are
likely to still have to support Python 2 in parallell for those
versions as well.
I think it's valid that we should consider the affect of libraries that
are trying to support 2.x and 3.y (for some values of x and y) at the
same time. Speaking for myself, I'll admit I hadn't thought of this
during any discussions of changing APIs. We'll only have to consider
this for at most 2 more 3.x releases, if we believe the 5 year timeframe
(since 3.0) for most projects to migrate.
But I agree that there's not much we can do in the capsule case. The
ship has sailed on that one.
