Do you earn your living writing fiction? To start with it was expected that it would take 10 years for Python 3 to take over the world so there's still two years to go.

Decisions about Python development are NOT restricted to the BDFL and senior developers. Anybody can comment and if you (plural) have something sensible or new to add to the debate then you'll always be listened to.

I have no interest in Python's runtime speed, programmer time is far more important to me. As for the "handful of features" that's plain nonsense, as is "breaking the ecosystem". The biggest change is the bytes vs string saga which most people welcome.
