That's not true about Python core and stdlib.  Python developers strive to
maintain backward compatibility and any instance of newer python failing to
read older pickles would be considered a bug.  This is even true across 2.x
/ 3.x line.

You mileage with 3rd party packages, especially 10+ years old ones may vary.
