Standard answer:

Nobody -- repeat, nobody -- has the answers to these questions.  Py3K is
a codename for a project that has not yet started.  Py3K is predicated
to a certain extent -- to what extent, nobody knows -- on the Fred
Brooks maxim, "Build one to throw away."

There are certain design decisions that were made for Python 1.x that
Guido would like to revisit.  Some of these decisions *MAY* be changed
in ways that break 1.x code.  Py3K is the name of the version that *MAY*
have these incompatibilities.
