This is amazing news!

On behalf of the FastAPI/pydantic communities, thanks to the Steering Council, and everyone involved!

I understand the big effort and commitment the Steering Council is making with this decision to support the pydantic and FastAPI communities (especially with our short notice), and the last-minute extra work involved in reverting the default for 3.10.

This will give us all the time to figure out how to handle it taking into account pydantic/FastAPI and the use cases that would benefit from PEP 563 and PEP 649.

Thanks!

Sebastián
