Besides which, it would be lovely to have a major release that didn't

Our erstwhile BDFL always eschewed two-digit version identifiers- due

We should honour his preferences by going from 3.9 to 4.0.
Is 4.0 still gonna install as "python3", pip3, etc, executable as "py -3" on

Maybe by then it can go back to just being python, as 2.x will be past end-of-life.
