From afar, Python 3.x releases seem more like major updates than point releases. There’s entirely blocks of functionality/syntax between 3.x releases.

Except it is mostly additive.
Adding new features will seldom break old stuff. It is the removing part that is hard.
(With the exception being when like a variable broke because it became a keyword, but if you made a variable something like async I am not sure you are entirely innocent).
