If Python 3.0 was simply a release which removed deprecated features, there would clearly be no issue. I would update my code in advance of the 3.0 release to not use any of those features being removed, and I'm all set. But that's not what I'm hearing. Python 3 is both adding new ways to do things, and removing the older way, in the same version, with no overlap. This makes me very anxious.

It has always been planned that in those cases that allow it, the new way to do it will be introduced in a 2.x release too, and the old way removed only in 3.x.
