Yeah, I understood. I'd been thinking it would be nice to be able to tune which one. It actually wouldn't be a matter of "renaming" anything, so much as getting rid of the symlink from one package -- on my arch system for example, * /usr/bin/python is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3 * /usr/bin/python3 is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.4 In any case, I don't feel terribly strongly, but it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to get the target of that symlink to be user/sysadmin-configurable. -Ian
