Can confirm, recently written scripts require modification pretty much every minor version. Take the limit on the default size of BigInts now. Why? Just... why? I had to look into every script add the override line at the top (or check the entire script it ever assumes unlimited BigInt anywhere). No wonder there are still Python 2 scripts in use.
