That's a complete non sequitur. "George Lucas notes that he can't pull the Darth Vader reveal again. So obviously, he is admitting that Empire Strikes Back was a disaster." Besides, you're forgetting that the whole point of having so many backwards incompatible changes in Python 3 in the first place was to get them out of the way and not have to do them further into the future. Python 4.0 has never been planned to be anything more than an incremental release like Python 2.0, and AIUI the only reason any of the core devs are even talking about Python 4 at this point in time is because Guido doesn't like "3.10" as a version number.
