As mentioned by Sean Ross, I was talking about Python x.y compatibility 
with other copies of version x.y.  With the way you describe IO, it 
encourages people to customize flow control and syntax.  Such 
customization does not necessarily increase readability, usability, or 
write-once-run-anywhere with IO version u.v.  It may also fragment the 
language in the long run into different camps; those that like the slim 
version, and those that like a version with every modification they can 
find.
