This is arguably more consistent with Python than changing the behavior on Python 2.7, too. The most obvious way in which a float being surprisingly switched to an integer could cause silent bugs (rather than noisy TypeErrors) is if the number is used in division. True division in Python 3 eliminates this risk. Generally, I agree with your reasoning. It would be unfortunate to be stuck with this legacy behavior forever.
