It looks to me that Python 3.7 may cause the largest breakage since 3.2 
because of "async". It is pretty popular name for arguments, attributes 
and methods. Many third-party projects needed to fix this now (despites 
it was deprecated since 3.5). Many third-party projects depends on 
libraries which needed the "async" fix for 3.7.

But in general this breakage is very small. It just looks larger than in 
previous versions.
