Partly this is to begin to educate users to stop using /usr/bin/python, which has unclear semantics across the wider Python community. If users see distro installed scripts use /usr/bin/python2, and PEP 394 says to use it, they will switch over and in time (e.g. by 2020) the impact of removing /usr/bin/python will be greatly lessened. >P.S.

PEP 394 is the vehicle for this, and getting the Debian and Fedora ecosystems aligned will be a powerful force for making sure it says what we want it to say.
