This one should definitely be two-phase. First, the non-code-
breaking change that replaces-and-deprecates the warty handling
of negative indexes, and later the removal of the old style. For
the former, there's no need to wait for a X.0 release; for the
latter, 3.0 may be too early.

The draft PEP went to the PEP editors a couple days ago. Haven't
heard back yet.
