As the use of Python3 becomes more widespread and Python2 approaches its EOL, I find the use of the [python-3.x](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-3.x "show questions tagged 'python-3.x'") tag being less and less relevant and more synonymous with the [python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python "show questions tagged 'python'") tag. 

I wonder if it would be prudent to make the [python-3.x](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-3.x "show questions tagged 'python-3.x'") tag a synonym for [python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python "show questions tagged 'python'"). My hunch is the answer is 'no' here, but I'm interested in the reasoning there. 

I was also thinking it may be useful if we update the [tagging recommendations](https://stackoverflow.com/tags/python/info) for both tags. My suggestion would be that we only encourage the use of the [python-3.x](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-3.x "show questions tagged 'python-3.x'") tag when version is central to the question. That is to say, just because the content *happens* to include some python3-specific feature, doesn't mean it should necessarily be tagged [python-3.x](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-3.x "show questions tagged 'python-3.x'").  

I feel with this stricter guideline, the tag would have a more useful distinction from questions simply tagged with [python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python "show questions tagged 'python'").
