Not really.
As it stands, concerning complications with different compiler
versions, it needs to be a different name, because there should
not be a dll name clash.
That, together with the assumption "bigger==better" gives
non-intended confusion.
see the thread on python-dev.

I think the main problem for the python community would be the name
2.8, having a version with a higher version number then the "official"

looking for the latest version of python 2.x but with no plans of
going stackless.
Is the name 2.8 crucial?

python.
names such as 2.8 or "python classic" were discussed.
Anyway, you need to brush up on your pythonism, Christian. It's
better to ask for forgiveness etc :)
I'll chime in.
