On the other hand, if the distros go the way Nick has (I think) been
advocating, and have a separate 'system python for system scripts' that

Agreed.
Except for that nasty licensing issue requiring source code.

Licensing requires, in the GPL at least, that the *modified* sources be
made *available*, not that they be shipped with the product. Looking at
the Python license, and what tools already do, there is zero need to
ship the source to stay compliant.
