But for me as a user, /usr/bin/python -> python3 is what I want. I also don’t understand the quoted recommendation that this shall be undesired.
In my opinion if we are going to break from upstream I think we need a very, very strong reason. Personal preference isn't sufficient in my opinion. I think defaulting to upstream's recommendation while allowing people like you to easily change it in a strictly opt-in manner is the best course of action.
By sticking /usr/bin/python to python2, the „brand“ /usr/bin/python is dead „forever“ once python2 disappears from the system due to EOL.
The end result of my proposal is that nothing would be using "/usr/bin/python" anymore, so that shouldn't be an issue. And honestly I doubt python2 will be removed from openSUSE once it is EOL, Red Hat and other distros will continue to provide security updates we can pull from. But I think that upstream python2 EOL should be the last possible date where python2 is installed by default (although ideally it will not be installed by default long before then). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
