I'm not in a good position to judge how similar the APIs are.  It does
seem like there are at least some breaking changes, and we usually try
to make things smooth for people upgrading by deprecating interfaces
before removing them completely. On the other hand our previous concern
for supporting python pre 3.6 (I think. Maybe 3.5?) seems less and less
worrying (except maybe for people using old CentOS like things).
