Terrible idea. Would wreak havoc with comparisons. No. Python 3 is all about Unicode, so the right way to proceed is 3.8, 3.9, 3.:, 3.;, 3.<,_ _3.=, 3.>, 3.?, 3.@, 3.A. And we have all of UCS-4 to play with, so for all practical purposes the 3.x line can live forever! The downside is that we'll get endless complaints from jmfauth about the Flexible Version Number Representation. :-(

Drat, drat and double drat, you beat me to it :)
