If we look back in python history, the rolling breaking changes have been handled mostly fine, and the actual Python 3 caused a lot of pain in the ecosystem. So I hope they stay away from major versions and keep up the other things they are doing.

That was due to the scope of the breakage, not number format. A good way to handle that and maintain predictability is to constrain breaking changes, yet defer them to 4.X.
