"More than 255 arguments can now be passed to a function, and a function can now have more than 255 parameters." There are human devs who needed this? Or is this a sign that AI bots are now involved in language design?

Perhaps it could trigger if you do function(*iterable), with a huge iterable?
>>> def f(*x): print(x[-1])
>>> f(range(300))
299
>>> exec("def f(" + ",".join("f" + str(x) for x in range(300)) + "): print(f299)"
>>> f(*range(300))

Switching the default encoding from ASCII to utf-8 sounds like a pretty big change.
Not really, imho. It makes more things work out of the box, but input and output for things that used to be ASCII anyway remain the same.
Guess what, changing the default encoding breaks every language that is not English.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you American? Americans always think that changing the encoding is a minor detail. Guess what, changing the default encoding breaks every language that is not English.

If anything this should make sure programs don't break because they read some utf-8 extended character when expecting just ascii -- which is the most common case.

First thing that pops to mind is ORM for extremely column-wide tables, which are not unusual in some domains.
