Ah but it isn't Py3 that's all about being first - it's the latest
version of some third-party module. This entire discussion came about
because of non-stdlib modules - Python itself is quite mature. You
might be the first to use XYZ with Py3, but you're not the first to
use XYZ, nor the first to use Py3.
