OpenMandriva uses python 3 as default, with /usr/bin/python pointing to python3.
AFAIK Mageia doesn't intentionally follow PEP 394 as much as it rather hasn't 
switched to python3 as it's default yet, where ie. python packages prefixed 
with python- are python 2, while python 3 packages are prefixed with python3-...


As distros completes their migration to python 3 and no python 2 package 
installed on system, any py3k compatible script from packages in distro using 
/usr/bin/python as shebang will be left broken, for which there surely are 
quite a few.

PEP 394 doesn't take the flipped situation py3k compatible scripts with 
/usr/bin/python as shebang into reasonable enough consideration, where such 
scripts are already and growingly in majority.

For old sys admin scripts, more realistic/sane scenarios would be for the sys 
admins running something non-cutting edge releases like RHEL/CentOS etc.
