Well, Python already has a plan for Python 4. The Python 4 will be released after Python 3.8. There are already discussion on Python 4.0 in the dev group. It is just a new number after 3.8 so there won't be breaking issues like 2=>3.

I think that was just some idea that was discarded.

"Seems that we've reached the consensus: we release Python 3.10 after Python 3.9. We maybe release Python 4.0 at some point if there's a significant backwards incompatible change." https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-Sep...
