We have two similar proposals, PEPs 407 and 413, to speed up the release of at least library changes. To me, both have major problems with version numbering.

I think the underlying problem is starting with a long-term fixed leading '3', which conveys no information about current and future changes (at least for another decade).

Correct, but the still ongoing challenges of the 2 -> 3 transition make that approach, as logical as it may be, entirely unworkable from a PR point of view.

Cheers, Nick.
