What it will lead to is further fragmentation of the community. Python2 vs Python3 split is far from being over, and now there're splits between:

* people who use "yield from" vs "await" * people who use f-strings vs who don't * people who rely on sorted nature of dict's vs who don't

This is the classic argument of, do you proceed conservatively and use the lowest-common denominator that makes your code work with the widest range of versions, or do you ride the wave and adopt the latest and greatest features as soon as they’re available?

Neither answer is wrong or right… for everyone. It’s also a debate as old as the software industry. Every package, project, company, developer, community will have to decide for themselves. Once you realize you can’t win, you’ve won! :)
