If that software was to be packaged, in this case, you'd simply:

I am strongly against any proposals that involve /path/to/my/python3.
However, I believe there's a third option here. It could be as simple as
providing a python3-static in addition, and NOT using `alternatives`. This
way, packages and scripts that actually need the performance improvements can
directly call python3-static, and everything else just continues to work as it
does now.
The idea here was to speed up Python for the benefit of the entire distro, not
for those who choose to use it.
If a software is written in python and the maintaioners want to speed it up,
there are more explicit actions they can take.
We don't want to invest our energy into this for the couple packages that will
opt in. We want to invest our energy into making all Fedora software that
happens to run on Python be generally faster.
And it is completely understandable that some trade-offs are OK for somebody and
not OK for somebody else. We are reading this thread and I will urge FESCo to
pay special attention to the negative responses.
