    I'd argue that the name of Python 3 should be consistently
be "python3" in distributions.  Python versions are going to have to
coexist for most of the next decade, and this will avoid
confusion.

    The 10th anniversary of the announcement of PERL 6 is coming
up on July 19th, and it still hasn't displaced PERL 5 as the
"primary" version.
