I'm not a dev, so my comment doesn't have that much weight, but it is possible to stop flooding the mailing list with idle chitchat about something mostly irrelevant and non-productive?

There's nothing wrong with the current Python versioning scheme. Python 4 is not planned for the near future. I don't see anything else worthy of discussion on this topic.
