My current assumption is we'll go 3.9 -> 4.0, even though there won't be
a 3.0 style compatibility break for 4.0. Recommended practices for new
Python development will have changed enough by that point that the
version bump will appropriately recognise the 15 years or so since the
original 3.0 release.
