Following the lead of 2.7.10 and 2.7.11 we could continue with 3.10, 3.11, etc.
I think we should continue with 3.10, 3.11, etc. Changing the major version should be done for incompatible changes, and just doing it after 3.9 will probably just create confusion for both users that will wonder if it's incompatible with Python 3 and for things like the executable name. Hopefully we won't need to jump to Python 4 for a long time.
I also want the 3->4 transition to feel like a non-event for most users. How we'll do that I don't know yet, but I want it to be a lot smoother than 2->3.
