It's in a parallel thread because it's a response to t0mbstone's statement that Python developers should have done more work to support backwards compatibility.
I am not saying that Python should "deprecate every old functionality always", but that is what dragonwriter seems to be arguing.
dragonwriter made a different argument about why to drop backwards compatibility, based on an interpretation of the Zen of Python. My response on this thread is to say that that interpretation of the Zen of Python is not valid, or at least weak, given that it does not explain Python's own development history.

Something that I am sure that you agree with.
I don't see where your views disagree with mine.
