One of the key purposes of the 3.x line of code is to get rid of warts
in the language. As a result, if someone is relying on warts, then
their code will break when changing from 2.x to 3.x.

IMO, this is actually a good thing since it encourages the reduction
in warty code. (People who want to use 2.x and 3.x can either use 2to3
and maintain 2to3-able code or write code that works in both 2.x and
3.x - which is eminently doable)

Yes.
