HL7.org has a banner on every version of the FHIR spec with a different message depending on the version. http://hl7.org/fhir/

I would discourage this, as it will lead to banner blindness. Only pop a banner up if you want the user to read and react to it. Otherwise, they'll just get used to the banner being there and will often times not read it at all.

It seems to work pretty well for everyone. FHIR developers are keenly aware of the version of the spec they are (currently) targeting.

Also they are color coded.

You're missing the point. If decision makers saw it coming that Python will just break in two, they would have never allowed its use. Other "serious" programming languages rarely if ever break, and when they do, it's usually minor. Python2 will almost certainly still remain in widespread use and it will still get security updates through alternative distribution channels. It's not that much work fixing such relativel…

It's not "broken"... Python3 is just the evolution of the language. Languages change and evolve, some more and some less than others. Sure, Java or COBOL maybe have done a better job of not breaking backwards compatibility, but Python 3 isn't exactly Perl 6 here. But hey, if some 3rd party group effectively forks the language and maintains a Python2 branch after the official EOL date, good on them. But I'd argue that…

For what it’s worth, Perl 6 can load Perl 5 libraries: https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5
