First of all, this is awesome news!

Second, based on my experience, you can expect code that runs on Python
3.4 to also run on 3.5, 3.6, etc.  But, even if there are small
compatibility issues, they can be worked around.

Finally, using the Avocado example, it's supposed to run under 3.4 *and*
later.
