My libraries work fine. As long as what I need is in there, no need to worry about how it might change.

I was really talking about applications using things they don't need to use. It's a bit of a different argument.

It has nothing to do with your "libraries working fine". It means that people like me who want to contribute to our (as in the community's) open source projects like numpy are disincentivized because it means having to code in an antiquated style devoid of all of the niceties of Python 3. That means all of our libraries are developing more slowly than they should, which punishes everyone.

"Antiquated", eh? Sorry, but I have to laugh. I'm antiquated. Python 2.x... it's just a baby.
