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.
