There's still a lot of community angst over the possibility that some hypothetical Python 4 will be like the 2/3 transition. Some people even imagine that the version after 3.9 could be that transition. I know we're not responsible for the ravings of people on social media, but do you think we should do a FAQ? Something along the lines of: - the version after 3.9 will be 3.10, and in fact it already exists; - if there ever is a version 4, the transition from 3 to 4 will be more like that from 1 to 2 rather than 2 to 3. -- Steve
Good idea. I tweeted pretty much what you wrote.

Seems like a good plan. Current evidence suggests, however, that no amount of preemptive documentation will have any impact at all on social media fueled FUD.
