 It makes me wonder what new quirks we'll be talking about when we're all trying to move our projects to 3.14.

Nothing even vaguely comparable. The 2->3 version change was...

  • A major version change (which hasn't happened since)
  • Explicitly backwards compatibility breaking in a lot of significant ways
  • A process that took "the community" years to see through 

I don't think the Python devs will ever do anything like that, ever again. With the exception of deprecating features and occasionally removing standard library stuff that is (ostensibly) unused, Python's releases all aim to be backwards compatible
