I could have taken that attitude with Django 3 years ago, but they released a new version a week or so after I started using it. That was a simple upgrade, no problems (1.2 - 1.3). I try to stay up to date now, as it keeps many things relevant. Sometimes it causes a bit of hassle.

Now If I had stayed on 1.2, then many of the extra libraries I am using or looking at these days would not be compatible. (Now sometimes I want to use older libraries that have not been kept up to date, but the more popular packages which gain traction - the "more important ones" tend to keep up to date or replaced by ones that do).

A language is different from a framework, but I assume once enough traction is gained, then the same thing will happen with Python - popular packages will end up up on Python 3 only. There seems to be a fair bit of 'push' from the community for people to move to Python 3, with comments of "why not change already".
