well, I believe they do and already did. 
Java uses the same path ruby does, deprecate something and introducing
the new stuff aside.
I'm quite sure the same stays for python. I can't really think of an

maybe this: IIRC  in newish pythons you can't use pyqt with MI and new
style classes or it would segfault.
