Our erstwhile BDFL always eschewed two-digit version identifiers- due to the possibility for confusion about collating sequence, I beleive..

Is 4.0 still gonna install as "python3", pip3, etc, executable as "py -3" on windows? I can see that being a pain point even if nothing else is. Maybe by then it can go back to just being python, as 2.x will be past end-of-life.
