[Guido]
Will we see you at the next (last) Python conference?
[Aahz]
Am I misreading this, or is IPC10 going to be the final Python conference?
I expect Guido was confusing tenses due to time machine travel to fix the worst 2.2 bugs before they got reported -- they were (or would have been -- or will be had they not been fixed beforehand in the past now) really embarrassing.
Whether there will be another Python conference is always a matter for keen speculation. The organizers claim to lose money on it, despite the craters it leaves in attendees' wallets. Ask again about a year from now ...
