I'm very much +1 on the patch.

A couple thoughts:
- Note that 2.7 doesn't come with a launcher.

- As I understand it, the 3.5+ installer won't overwrite a newer launcher than 
what it would install, but the 3.4- installer will.  So the only really 
confusing (to my mind) thing that could happen would be someone installing 3.4 
after 2.7 and 3.6, and the newly installed old 3.4 launcher reverts to 
defaulting to 2.x.  There's not much we can do about that, though: there will 
be no more 3.3 or 3.4 installers, so an update to the launcher in those 
branches would never see the light of day anyway.  I think this is an 
uncommon-enough situation that it can be ignored, but one possible way to work 
around it would be to install a pro-3 py.ini along with the launcher in 3.6+ 
(if it wouldn't be overwriting an existing py.ini).  Probably more effort than 
it's worth, though.
