Please don't. Python 3 was so painful because we decided to make millions of tiny backward incompatible changes. To have a smooth Python 4.0 release, we should only remove things which were already deprecated since at least 2 cycles, and well documented as deprecated. Note: The Gtk project has similar questions on backward compatibility ;-) https://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2016/06/13/gtk-4-0-is-not-gtk-4/ (Migration to Gtk3 was also painful for developers, no?)
