Everybody has long presumed we'd go with 3.10. Maybe we're not following semver to the letter, but this part of it we follow -- 4.0 would mean a major rewrite or incompatible change.

For a long time I had hoped that Larry Hastings' Gilectomy project would succeed, in which case that would be a logical candidate for 4.0, since it requires a lot of incompatible C API changes. But Victor seems to have a better plan for evolving the C API, and the Gilectomy doesn't seem to be proceeding.

I don't think there's been a formal decision, but I think the
expectation is that we just go to 3.10. Certainly PEP 602
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0602/) assumes that in the
description of the future release schedule.
