No, he overcame that aversion when we published 2.7.10. So while the assumption was that Guido wouldn't allow 3.10 back when I wrote https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/17/why-python-4-0-wont-be-like-python-3-0/, the current status is that we won't make a firm decision either way until after the 3.9 maintenance branch is created. There are downsides either way, and weighing them up depends on external factors (like the state of Linux distro migrations) where we won't have access to good information until the decision needs to be made.
