The fun starts now.  We've just seen the last official release of Python 2,
and while it will be maintained for a long time (and used for longer I'm
sure), we've put out the clear message that the future is Python 3.  So I
think you'll start to see momentum around Python 3 pick up, and that includes
improvements to the stdlib.  In fact, with the moratorium in place, I'm hoping
*most* of the incredible Pythonic brain power will be devoted to Python 3
stdlib improvements.
