I thought the way the Python guys handled Python 3 was very good. Just 
break what (really) needs to be broken and clear the way for future 
enhancements. Although porting of applications is still needed, they've 
stayed away from trivial and stylistic 'fixes' to Python and the libs 
which bring a lot more porting work for little real world gain. Things 
like changing the naming of classes and modules names etc fall into the 
stylistic change category in my book.

I hope Phil can stick to the really needed stuff. Porting stuff from 
Qt/KDE 3 to 4 has proven to be draining work which I hope to avoid 
having to do again in the near future.

cheers,
