I'm not terribly worried about Python 3.0 incompatibilities, whenever
those are.  There are already three incompatible Python versions
(CPython, Jython, IronPython) with PyPy coming right along.  If any of
those newer ones take off in popularity, there's going to be much more
interoperability hassle than 3.0 will cause.
