I would be worried, though, that you'll have packages that were built against python that are now trying to pull in and possibly run on python2 unnecessarily, and possibly detrimentally if Red Hat suddenly decides to push python2 packages out. It seems to me that if the package is going to be built against pythin then it should require python, if it has to be built against python2 then it should require python2. In neither case does it seem prudent to be tricking packages into thinking that python is actually python2. Maybe I missed something here.
