Py2 supported both <> and !=, so code could be completely compatible with both branches just by using !=. You're proposing creating a new way of doing things and then deprecating or removing one of them, which either means there'll be two identical spellings, or you break everyone's code (or both). It's almost the opposite of the <> change. Please, everyone, can we NOT keep coming up with ideas that are basically "let's invent a new spelling for exactly the same thing, with no benefits, and demanding new keywords, so we can break people's code for no reason"? You can always just write your own transpiler to let yourself spell it your preferred way.
