I guess there is no one who takes backwards-compatibility even more 
seriously than Python-Dev.

I have perfectly good DOS and Windows programs that no longer run on 
supported Windows versions. XP->Vista was a bigger break than Python 
2->3, from my perspective.

And then if you get into the command line programs that have vanished or 
take different options, breaking batch files, and similar facilities, it 
gets even worse.
