I think you missed my point. I presented a hypothetical situation where in an alternative reality Python 3 happened to instead integrate something like PyPy in it (or say have any other mind blowing features of that caliber).

I personally would want Python to be used more because I like it. But I see how a community has been divided over what I see is an un-necessary backward incompatible change to the language.
To put it another way. I would rather not have backwards compatibility issues and just keep having 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, if all we got was what we got with 3.x
