Yes, but this is true of any incompatible upgrade.  I, for one, think
the Python 2 -> 3 transition has been handled pretty well.  There have
been excellent documents on the Python web site for years telling people
exactly how the transition was going to go, and suggesting ways to
ameliorate the pain.

I think it's just amazing that Python 3 was basically conceived,
architected, debated, designed, developed, beta tested, and released,
while in the same period of time Perl 6 has made almost no measurable
progress.  (Yes, I know that's not technically correct, but it's a good
sound bite.  So sue me.  ;)
