Yep, this is still where Fedora is at as well - step 1 is to eliminate
legacy references to the python symlink, and then step 2 will be to
figure out if/when it ever comes back as a way of referring to a
generic version of Python.

Personally, I suspect it's more likely that we''ll start shipping
https://github.com/brettcannon/python-launcher with CPython at some
point, similar to the way we ship the original py launcher for
Windows.
