I get it

This isnt really about rationalizing Python2

Its about different branches of a programming language bearing sequential names

Thats the only real UX problem here

Naming candidates: Python++, Python Vision, Python Classic/Python, Python Core

How would that do anything but make it worse? If you want a real world example, how about VB6 versus VB7 and its rebrand as VB.NET (though still called VB7 by its team, and the version numbers remain sequential from there). People will fight that language war for the rest of their lives.
