You know the cleaning up probably won’t happen. If some dependency doesn’t work anymore because Python introduced a breaking change, then you stick with the old Python version.

Python is actually a good example of this: see the mess that the transition from 2.6 to 3 generated.

Python 3.7 is another good example. The new await and async keyword broke a lot of programs.
