We remove garbages not only between 2 and 3. We regularly remove garbages. https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#api-and-feature-removals https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html#api-and-feature-removals https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html#removed https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html#removed We need to avoid major breakage. But we accept small breakages on every minor release. And u-prefix is major for now. > Maybe I missed something. Python used to pride itself on keeping old > code working.

Hash randomization might be enabled by default if we released Python 2.8.
