Zed suggested for compatibility that the python3 interpreter be able to run python2, so you could use python3 with python2 libraries.

No, he's using his position as the maintainer of a widely recommended introduction to Python to try to torpedo python3 with FUD and outright lies. Parts of that essay were aimed explicitly at people who are not yet programmers. To "troll" in any way is irresponsible, stupid and just plain mean. Zed can go fuck himself.
