Because python. Be it python 2 or python 3 - it's (in)famous for one thing - lack of backwards compatibility. Sooner or later they replace python 3.8 (current sid) with, say, python 3.9 - and the things will break again. Because they did on 3.7->3.8 transition, did before that on 3.6->3.7 transition and this list goes long way back. Reco
