Not if you keep your code up-to-date.  The plan is that lots of things
that are no longer needed will be removed (e.g. ``apply()``), and this
will make room for some features that would clash with the existing
codebase, but by-and-large it won't be any kind of quantum leap.

However, if you're currently maintaining code that still needs to run on
1.5.2, it's likely that Python 3.0 will bring some pain.
